Energy company, Engen, is expected to open its new Ondangwa fuel depot in Northern Namibia by April next year, with construction set to begin by the end of the year.
This is according to Wikus Strydom, supply and operations manager for Engen’s International Business Division who said in a statement that Namibia has seen a number of major investments by Engen this year. First, it upgraded the Walvis Bay depot by adding an additional 20 000mᶾ of storage capacity; followed by the completed construction of its Grootfontein depot.
“The Grootfontein facility will supply the whole of northern Namibia until Ondangwa comes online in 2016,” said Drikus Kotze, Engen general manager.
In addition, Engen has upgraded a long-haul truck stop in Rundu in the north-east of Namibia, catering for trucks moving along the Trans-Kalahari towards Katima Mulilo, Zambia and further north, following economic activity in the region.
