Oiltanking commissions new terminal in Mozambique
HAMBURG, Germany — Oiltanking GmbH is pleased to announce the commissioning of its new terminal in Matola, Mozambique. In parallel, Oiltanking will expand its investment in the ports of Matola and Beira by increasing its ownership share in Oiltanking Mozambique. Through this transaction, Oiltanking has increased its direct stake from 60% to 80%.
The terminal in Matola received its first vessel on Nov. 26, 2017. The facility’s initial storage capacity will be 58,600 cbm, with land available for further development. It has access to a jetty with a draft of 11.5 meters. In addition, the terminal is equipped with rail- and truck-loading facilities to serve southern Mozambique and neighboring countries including Swaziland, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and the northern provinces of South Africa.
On the land available for further expansion in Matola, Oiltanking is planning to build a large scale pressurized liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) terminal of up to 33,000 cbm, as well as adding another 70,000 cbm of liquid storage.
An additional terminal is planned by Oiltanking in Beira, located centrally along the Mozambican coast. The terminal, which is currently at the development stage, will facilitate gas and petroleum product imports into the central part of Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
