The East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) has reached 82% overall completion as of April 2026, with construction progressing across pipeline sections, pump stations, and the Chongoleani Marine Terminal in Tanga. The 1,443-kilometre pipeline is advancing steadily toward First Oil, with all line pipes delivered and the marine jetty at 88.1% completion.
Construction activities have advanced across key sections of the pipeline, pump stations, and terminal infrastructure during the first quarter of 2026. Significant milestones have been achieved in welding, trenching, pump station development, and marine storage terminal works.
The marine jetty has reached 88.1% completion, with precast elements installation and Marine Loading Arms (MLA) A, B, and C mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical installation works now complete. Preparations are currently underway to relocate the MLAs from the quay wall to the storage barge. On 10 January 2026, the project reached a key milestone in Uganda with the arrival of the final pipe truck at Main Camp and Pipe Yard 4 (MCPY4), completing the supply of all line pipes required for the pipeline and signalling the end of a major procurement and logistics phase.
