PETROMOC
Delivering petroleum to Mozambique and its neighbouring countries
P
etroleos de Mocambique, also known as Petromoc, is a stateowned distributor of petroleum products in the African country including liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), petrol, aviation fuel, kerosene, diesel, fuel oil, various grades of bitumen, and lubricating oils and greases Formed in 1997, it is now the second largest oil and gas firm in Southern Africa. The company is responsible for the purchasing of Mozambique’s petroleum product requirements and for setting selling prices. Petromoc operates more than 100 service stations nationwide, with around a 50 percent share in that market. It is a crucial cog in the energy wheel, owning 20 of 28 depots in Mozambique. It also provides fuel to neighbouring countries such as Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The company owns and operates storage facilities and pipelines found across all the main Mozambican ports, including 19 inland and coastal depots which boast a combined storage capacity of around 500,000 cubic metres. OPERATIONS As the largest supplier of fuel to Mozambique’s leading industrial and commercial companies,
Petromoc is also able to provide customers with complete technical support. With annual sales of approximately 407,000 cubic metres of petroleum products, 375,000 of which are distributed to Mozambique’s domestic market, which equates to a domestic market share of around 42 percent. About 33,000 cubic metres are supplied within the company’s foreign markets. Petromoc’s assets include the Lingamo Oceanic Oil Terminal (IOL), the Beira Oceanic Oil Terminal (IOB) and the Nacala Oceanic Installation (ION). All of these are integral to diffrent aspects of operations. The IOL, which is located in the port area of Matola City, acts as the gateway for petroleum products into Mozambique and is the largest facility of its kind in the country. Oil tankers deliver
petroleum products which are then transferred via a pipeline to the fuel terminal and has a capacity of 412,000 cubic metres. The IOB is crucial for foreign exports thanks to its location in Munhava, and despite its smaller capacity of 26,000 cubic metres is responsible for handling huge volumes of fuel. Petromoc recognised this importance and invested in a powerful, state-of-the-art loading gantry. The Mozambique-Zimbabwe Pipeline Company pipeline gives it a unique opportunity to pump products into Zimbabwe. The ION is responsible for the supply of fuels to the northern region of Mozambique and is connected to the fuel terminal by a 4km long pipeline which means products can be pumped separately to maintain their high quality and improve durability.

This partnership with Sasol fits in perfectly with Petromoc’s main goal - which is to aid the development of the country in its operations while protecting the environment. Sasol has been involved in Mozambique for over a decade, when, together with its partners, CMH and IFC developed the Pande/Temane natural gas project. “This resulted in significant benefits flowing to Mozambique, with the investment unlocking the country’s natural wealth and providing a platform for much-needed foreign investment, economic growth, skills and social development,” says the company.
SOCIAL & ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY Petromoc takes its corporate social and environmental responsibilities very seriously. To this end, it is always aiming to support events related to the development of Mozambique’s national culture and identity. This includes educational needs, such as investing in the rehabilitation of the Bagamoyo Primary School, where the company financially supported students who struggled with financial resources. Healthcare campaigns are also supported, with senior staff being involved in training activities and workshops aimed at combating HIV. FUTURE GOALS Like any major organisation, Petromoc isn’t comfortable one eating on its laurels. It has clear, defined strategic goals. These are: - Regional expansion - The maximisation of the logistics network - Diversification of its energy portfolio by developing new products and services that add value and stability Led by its guiding principles that have been in place since its inception, Petromoc is in place to continue its high levels of performance and deliver petroleum products to the people of Mozambique and beyond.
