Procurement / Distribution
STC is responsible for the importation of all the country’s requirements of Petroleum Products. These include the demands for the running of public transport, industrial and commercial activities, private motor vehicles, the needs of the Central Electricity Board in fuel oils for its power plants, the needs for aircraft refueling at the SSR International Airport and the needs of bunker fuels for international shipping.
Annual demand in Petroleum Products to meet domestic and international demand has reached
945,000 metric tons in 2019/2020.
Upon arrival of the tanker at the New Oil Jetty of Port Louis Harbour, the products are pumped out of tanker and delivered through pipelines into shore tanks situated in the Port Area. Those tanks are owned and operated individually or jointly in the Port Area by local oil companies. They also operate a Jet Fuel tank near SSR Airport.
The local Oil Companies are represented by:
1. Vivo Energy (Mauritius) Ltd
2. Total Mauritius Ltd
3. Engen (Mauritius) Ltd
4. Indian Oil (Mauritius) Ltd
The Oil Companies market, distribute and retail the products through their respective networks of about 155 filling stations across the country. Some also operate barges to carry out their bunker supply operations at sea.
STC procures its Petroleum Products through open international tender process.
