Zanzibar Project

This project will be managed under Salama Petrochemical & Oil Services Co.  which is incorporated in Zanzibar.

The development of the refinery of crude oil will not only reduce the scarcity of employment in Zanzibar but also the revival and growth of economy.

Salama Petrochemical & Oil Services Co. is aiming at establishing a high class of Petroleum Refinery Plant which is anticipated to be very beneficial to the people of Zanzibar in terms of the prices of petrol, diesel, jet fuel and other matters closely related thereto.

DESCRIPTION

The objective of the project is to install a crude oil refinery with an innovative design for maximizing the profitability while using a limited feed stock supply in Zanzibar. The finished product will be naptha, kerosene, diesel fuel-oil.

Target Market:
• East Africa Countries
• Congo
• Zambia
• Malawi
• Mozambique
• Tanzania
• Comoros Island

LOCATION

The location of the project is Mangapwani in North Region Unguja. This area was chosen to develop the logistic functions of the project within the availability of proper infrastructure of transportation. This earmarked area is expected to be an influential commercial zone to faciliate the processing “plant”  manufacturing unit for the refining of crude oil in Zanzibar.

• Mangapwani is North Region Unguja
• Availability of preper infrastructure
• A commercial zone which will faciliate the processing plant

DEVELOPMENT STEPS

The main activities performed during the exploitation of the site are:

• The Transportation of the Crude Oil to Zanzibar Petroleum Refinery Plant

• Production period on account of refining of crude oil

• The exploitation of social and health buildings

• The maintenance of the refinery and machinery

Advantages of the project:

• No sludge generated

• All products are recovered as saluable products

• No environmental pollution

• Availability to process any type of crude oil (light,medium,high) raw material

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

The estimated import of refined petroleum products in Tanzania is approximately 1.5 million tones, through port of Dar es Salaam annually.

The petroleum refinery built in this project will reduce the amount of import around 15%, annually.

Given the importance of the Petroleum products in a growing world economy and the current supply demand gap for such products, Salama Petrochemical & Oil Services Co. Trading Limited embraced a mission to engage in the establishment of a Crude Oil Refinery Plant to produce Petroleum products at Mangapwani in North Region Unguja.

PROJECT BUDGET

The capital investment for this project is estimated 111,740,000 US $ financed through equity contribution of the promoters of this project. This capital will cover construction works, which includes Land and Building, Machinery and Equipment, Fixture and Furniture, Pre-Operating costs and working capital as shown clearly in the table on the right.

The company intends to market their products naphtha, kerosene, diesel, fuel oil with their marketing division.

Though the consumer market is experiencing an economic boom, the sales and marketing strategies were planned to grab the potential market share in the country.

Local manufacturing units in the region are very few and Salama Petrochemical & Oil Services Co. has already been in the market as sales distribution agents for diesel and various related products and having a multi-million dollar turnover for many years.
