Dangote begins regulatory process for Namibia fuel storage terminal

Dangote Industries Namibia Ltd has launched the environmental approval process for a planned 1.6 million-barrel petroleum storage terminal at Walvis Bay. This marks the first formal step towards one of the largest fuel infrastructure developments proposed in Namibia.

The company has applied for an environmental clearance certificate (ECC) to subdivide approximately 70 hectares of industrial land on Farm 58, with the proposed tank farm expected to strengthen Namibia’s fuel storage capacity and establish Walvis Bay as a regional distribution hub.

According to the environmental scoping assessment, the current application is limited to the subdivision of the site required for the development.
