Brega Petroleum Marketing Company announced on Thursday that it will start constructing an integrated oil depot in the capital, Tripoli, with a reserve storage capacity of 600 million liters of fuel.

The Company explained in a statement Thursday evening that the Council of Ministers of the National Unity Government issued a decision to allocate a plot of land in the municipality of Janzur adjacent to a power station west of Tripoli for the establishment of the project, adding that the head of the management committee of the Brega company, Ibrahim Abu Breda, discussed Thursday with representatives from the municipality of Janzur and a number of officials at the company’s departments, making preliminary arrangements for the implementation of the project.

Through this project, the company aims to establish a marine receiving point for all petroleum products and to set up tanks for storing diesel fuel, gasoline, heavy fuel oil, kerosene and aviation fuel, in addition to storage tanks for cooking gas and installing a rotary gas production capacity of 30 thousand cylinders per day.

The Brega company indicated that this project will cover the needs and requirements of the Tripoli region, whose needs represent about 48% of the total requirements of the western and southern regions, and about 34% of the country’s total daily fuel needs.
