Engen will open its Ondangwa fuel depot in northern Namibia in 2016.

Construction of the facility will begin shortly, and is scheduled for completion around April next year.

The company recently upgraded its Walvis Bay depot, adding an additional 20 000mᶾ of storage capacity, before completing construction of its Grootfontein depot, which will supply northern Namibia until Ondangwa comes online.

A long-haul truck stop in Rundu in the north-east of Namibia, which caters for trucks moving along the Trans-Kalahari towards Katima Mulilo, Zambia and further north, has also been upgraded.

The company has conventional service stations in Ongwediva, Oshakati and Ondangwa to the north.

In total, around N$150 million (R150 million) has been spent and forms part of a larger south-to-central African fuel supply strategy. Product coming into Namibia is shipped into Walvis Bay and distributed via rail and road to a network of depots and retail and commercial facilities.
