Supply Trading and Optimisation

Engen operates storage, transport and logistics infrastructure and activities across the African continent, under our own banner and in partnership with other providers, to ensure steady supply to all our markets. Our STO function performs several roles to ensure we meet market demand in a professional and timely manner.

  • STO liaises with our parent company PETRONAS, about the importation of crude oil to 'feed' our refinery, and arranges shipping into SA
  • It coordinates the distribution of refined and procured product to our depots, and from depots to customers; It manages product imports to cover any market shortfall resulting from our refinery output, and
  • It exports surplus product

To ensure that we meet our commitments to clients and are able to control and mitigate any environmental, health and safety risks during the storage and transportation of hazardous

materials, Engen runs its own extensive transport fleet. We invest heavily in driver training and lifestyle education, as well as skills development. We also run and co-run a wide array of depots and aviation facilities. All of this enables Engen to deliver fuel volumes running into tens of millions of litres daily.
