Oil marketing companies from all over the country are now preferring filling their tankers at the Nakuru Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) Depot after the installation of an ultra-modern bottom loading facility.
KPC Managing Director Joe Sang said the investments the company had put in place were finally paying off.
He said customers will benefit immensely from the bottom loading facility as it will speed up the loading process and reduce waiting times.
Sang further said that the bottom loading services had accrued revenues of more than Sh70 million in a month.
“Bottom loading offers a more efficient and safer way to load petroleum products, reduces the risk of spills while at the same time minimizing the chance of accidents,” he said.

The Energy and Petroleum Cabinet Minister, Davis Chirchir officiated the facility’s commissioning, where he said the government was encouraging the adoption of innovative ways including adoption of latest technology in service provision.
“KPC has been heavily investing and applying new technologies to enhance efficiency and the bottom loading facility is an important improvement for the petroleum sector as it eliminates the need for personnel to climb to the top of the truck to load fuel, reducing the risk of falls, and minimizing the chance of spills and accidents,” he said.
