Description
Description | The East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) is a 1,443-kilometer heated crude oil pipeline from Hoima, Uganda to the Port of Tanga, Tanzania. It is set to be the world's longest heated crude oil pipeline when completed in 2027. The project aims to build a regional oil economy for Uganda and Tanzania, including transit fees, taxes, infrastructure revenues, and job creation. Kenya was initially part of a plan for a pipeline route through its territory but lost the deal to Tanzania due to various factors including construction risks, approvals, and financing delays. |
