Tanzania launches construction of USD 100 Million Tanga LPG Terminal Project with a capacity of 40,000 cubic meters. The terminal is set to become the country’s largest liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) facility, aiming to boost clean cooking access, create jobs, and serve as a regional energy hub.
On 5th June 2025, Tanzania’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Energy, Dr. Doto Biteko, launched the construction of the USD 100 million Tanga LPG Terminal project. Located on 26 hectares in Chongoleani, in the Tanga Bay, the terminal will feature six LPG storage spheres with a combined capacity of 40,000 cubic meters in its first phase, eight truck loading gantries, and a 2.8 km underwater pipeline. The project is designed to accommodate Very Large Gas Carriers (VLGCs), which are currently unable to dock at Tanzanian ports, positioning the terminal as a major supply and distribution point for Tanzania and neighboring countries.
The terminal is set to become the country’s largest liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) facility, aiming to boost clean cooking access, create jobs, and serve as a regional energy hub. The project is being developed through a partnership between Petredec, a global LPG value chain company, and ASAS Group, a Tanzanian fuel and LPG transport conglomerate. Speaking at the launch, Dr. Biteko urged the project developers to design the implementation plan in a way that ensures Tanzanians are prioritized in job opportunities, stating there is no need to recruit workers from distant areas.
