Toyota Tsusho has announced plans to start laying down an oil pipeline that will serve South Sudan and Uganda’s oil exports via Kenya.
Toyota Tsusho is spearheading the 2,000 kilometer pipeline project with investments expected to total to more than $5 billion.
Toyota Tsusho East Africa Ltd and the three governments will establish a joint special purpose company possibly within this year for the construction and maintenance of the new pipelines.
One of the pipelines will transport oil from South Sudan to the Kenyan port of Lamu, allowing South Sudan to bypass the existing pipeline going northward to a Red Sea port via Sudan with which it has kept strained ties since its independence in 2011 following a two-decade-old civil war.
The Ugandan government is joining the new company as Toyota Tsusho plans to connect the South Sudan-Kenya pipeline with another from western Uganda.
