Global energy company Puma Energy  opened new bitumen and fuel terminals in Mozambique this week, raising its capacity in the southern African country to 275 500 cbm.

According to a statement by Puma, the new Matola terminals consist of 11 steel storage tanks which have collectively added 115 000 cbm of storage capacity.

“The bitumen terminal has been designed to reduce Mozambique’s dependence on imports, while the fuel terminal creates a new fuel-supply channel for the Southern African Development Community (SADC),” said Christophe Zyde, COO, Puma Energy Africa.
