Petroleum Products: New Pipelines to a Joint Venture Total Vivo-Energy

The main reason for the establishment of this infrastructure is that the number of ships in port related Mauritius has increased dramatically. The increase in supply capacity of these ships is to accompany this movement. At the same time, we will have more capacity, the more it will attract additional traffic, argue the two multinational oil.

Total currently has two storage tanks, one of 11 760 cubic meters, used for gasoline, and a Another more modest storing 5555 cubic meters of heavy oil. 

These new pipelines will range from a dock at Pier 5. The project is estimated at Rs 15 million. 

Recall that in October 2010, citing the Master Plan Mauritius Ports Authority (MPA), Total brought out that the supply ship fuel (bunkering) is an activity that is expected to develop. The Master Plan of 2002 evoked a 20% growth annually during the previous five years. 

With the marketing of Port Louis harbour as refuelling, it is hoped that the activities of "bunkering "and could grow in 2015, nearly 450,000 tons of fuel to be sold to ships. That this could grow to 730,000 tons in 2025, estimated total. 

The company argues it can, through its network and its international customers, and help Mauritius Port Louis to meet these objectives and thus contribute to return foreign currency in the economy.
