Master plan for transport of refined petroleum products, Mauritania

Master plan for transport of refined petroleum products, Mauritania

The Mauritanian transport sector for refinery products is characterized by substantial shortcomings in tanker trucks, ships, port logistics, rail transport and pipelines. This concerns not only the regulatory regime, cost, quality, safety and efficiency, but also competition and the investment behavior of private investors. For this reason, the World Bank is supporting this project, in which Fichtner, in a first step, is analyzing the present condition of the transport sector in addition to identifying technical improvements and cost-reduction measures. In a further step, we will develop a master plan for the period to 2022.
