📋 Tender Overview
From : Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Passes through : Morogoro, Tanzania Mbeya, Tanzania
To Ndola. Zambia
Scope :
The Tanzania–Zambia Petroleum Products Pipeline (TZPPP) is a proposed pipeline to transport refined petroleum products from Tanzania's sea-port of Dar es Salaam on the Indian Ocean through central Tanzania and northern Zambia to the Zambian mining city of Ndola, in the Copperbelt Province. Location : The pipeline would originate in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania's financial capital and largest city and travel in a general south-westerly direction, through the Tanzanian regions of Morogoro, Iringa, Njombe, Mbeya and Songwe. The pipeline would end in the city of Ndola, Copperbelt Province, in Zambia, a total distance of 1,349 kilometres (838 mi).
The project will be implemented jointly by Zambia and Tanzania. Overview : Zambia, a land-locked Southern African country depends on its neighbor, Tanzania for the majority of its oil imports, sourced mainly from the Middle Eastern countries. This pipeline would ease the transportation of petroleum products to Zambia and to many inland regions of Tanzania, where the pipeline will pass. Other pipelines : The two countries already have an oil pipeline between them, the Tanzania–Zambia Crude Oil Pipeline. pipeline would also have take-off points at Morogoro, Iringa, Njombe, Mbeya and Songwe regions on the Tanzanian side.
Tanzania and Zambia already have a crude oil pipeline between them transporting oil to Zambia, where it is refined in Ndola for local use. The possible alternative would be to build a new line direct from Lindi to Zambia’s copper belt, intercepting the oil line at Mbeya, just north of Lake Malawi, before heading to its destination — a total distance of about 1500 kilometres. pipeline would also have take-off points at Morogoro, Iringa, Njombe, Mbeya and Songwe regions on the Tanzanian side.
