Vivo Energy opens new diesel storage tank

The facility has increased the company’s diesel storage to 53 million litres, and Petrol storage to 29 million litres. Increasing diesel storage mirrors sign of growth in the industry with increased volumes being witnessed at service stations, manufacturing and agricultural sectors. Diesel consumption at Shell service stations has grown significantly since November 2012 when Vivo Energy Kenya was formed to distribute and market Shell branded fuels and lubricants. Speaking during the commissioning of the new tanks Vivo Energy Kenya Managing Director, Mr Polycarp Igathe said: “additional storage will enable Vivo Energy to support its rapidly growing retail business which has witnessed a 54 per cent growth over the last three years. It also increases flexibility to support inland markets like Uganda.”
