The Ugandan government has set aside land for use as a fuel reservoir and Libya’s Tamoil will be building the fuel storage terminal. The terminal will be located near Kampala and serve Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi.
Tamoil is to construct the Kampala Oil Products Terminal and the Eldoret-Kampala oil pipeline extension project at a price tag of $250 million. The Libyan firm is expected to start work on the pipeline and terminal in April.
According to an article in Uganda’s New Vision Ben Twodo, the Commissioner for Petroleum in the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development, said work had been pending since 2007 due to a problem with land ownership.
Once constructed, the terminal will have 24 installed reservoir tanks and an optimum capacity of 160 million liters of oil products.
Works to level the site will commence on April 15 and it is expected to take 15 months to complete.
