The firm’s Managing Director, Mr Arshid Esmail said mid this week in Dar es Salaam that the expansion programme is objectively focusing to bridge the petrolium demand and supply gap which contributes to the skyrocketing of petroleum products prices in the country. He said, “We are planning to invest heavily in Tanzania and the East African countries and beyond between now and next year as we prepare to tap the booming local and regional markets”.

Under the planned expansion drive the firm is likely to spend into terminal and storage facilities while spreading the horizon of their activities in East Africa. Esmail said, “We take note of the steadily increasing trend of economic development of Tanzania and East African region in the next few years and recognise the need for state-of-the-art storage facilities in the region, adding that such services will be offered to wholesalers at affordable rates”.

He said that our investment would ensure that the country and its neighbouring landlocked countries have enough reserves even during times of uncertainties in global supply of petroleum products that will further lead to stabilize oil prices. Countries which will advantage from the storage facilities investments by the firm comprise Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, DRC, Zambia and Malawi.

ENOC Africa is the first Tanzanian company to win two competitive tenders in February and July this year under the bulk procurement system in the country for the supply of national oil consignment. He said that the company’s state-of-the-art refinery and International Standard Quality Testing Laboratory (ISQTL) ensure that its supplies meet the quality requirements of Tanzania and neighbouring countries.

“We believe we can play a major role in sustaining Tanzania’s Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR) which helps the country during times of supply crisis; he said, adding that the right products and infrastructure they have respond to any urgent crisis in fuel shortage situations.”
