This investment program, whose bid opening is imminent, combines the extension of storage capacities and the densification of dispatch infrastructure to respond to the structural growth of demand across the entire territory.


At the heart of this large-scale project is the installation of a new 1,000-metric-ton storage sphere, named S8, which will be added to the site’s previous achievements, such as the recently inaugurated S6 sphere and the S7 tranche currently under execution. Ultimately, the realization of these successive projects should increase the depot’s total theoretical capacity to 5,500 tons, more than doubling the available volumes before the start of this modernization program. The intervention does not stop at bulk storage, as the tender also includes the creation of a truck-loading area and, notably, the implementation of a rail siding capable of handling six tank wagons simultaneously, thereby enhancing the fluidity of transfers to regional rail-connected hubs such as Yaoundé and Bélabo.


Carried out under an integrated formula combining studies, procurement, and construction over a projected 30-month timeline, this major project will be executed in an active operational environment, requiring strict industrial safety protocols and coactivity management. The financial rigor demanded of bidders, coupled with special attention to local content, reflects SCDP’s commitment to durably consolidating the national LPG market’s logistics architecture.
