Pipelines offers fully integrated supply chain solutions from source to destination while ensuring the best safety practices and optimum service reliability, and exceeding customer expectations through the division’s proficient human capital. To this effect, Pipelines currently transports: • More than 65% of all refined products to the inland market; • More than 70% of all jet fuel required at OR Tambo International Airport; • 100% of the crude requirements for the Natref Refinery; • 100% of the methane-rich gas requirements to KwaZulu-Natal for Sasol Energy and its gas clients; and • 100% of Tarlton’s volumes, of which 60% is distributed cross-border. The initiative to secure a direct import terminal in the port of Durban and a Terminal Operating Licence has become a key strategic objective for Pipelines, in alignment with the Transnet Liquid Fuels Master Plan to enable: • New market participants in line with the charter expectations, which emphasises the promotion of broad-based black economic empowerment and overall sector transformation; and • The Department of Energy’s Clean Fuels II Programme, which will necessitate increased import terminals due to changes in fuel specifications in the short to medium term. The MPP 24” trunkline is in full multi-product operation, transporting two diesel grades and two unleaded petrol grades as well as jet fuel. The inland accumulation facility was operationalised in December 2017 and will further facilitate security of supply to the market. A seamless integrated rail and pipeline service offering is currently in operation to OR Tambo International Airport, and other routes are being considered and optimised in this regard. The Regional Integration Strategy’s primary objective is to grow beyond South Africa’s borders, thereby repositioning Pipelines to be a liquid and gas operator of choice across Africa. The business diversification ambition also places emphasis on revenue streams that are non-regulated. Opportunities to diversify into the liquefied natural gas (LNG) market are also being pursued.
