Kumul Petroleum Managing Director Mr. Wapu Sonk recently welcomed Consolidated Holding Limited (KCHL) Managing Director Professor David Kavanamur, who had been invited to visit Kumul Petroleum’s Fuel Storage Facility at Motukea.
The two men, along with KPHL’s project management team, took a tour of the fuel storage facility being built to alleviate the country’s ongoing fuel scarcity situation.
Kumul Petroleum Holding Limited (KPHL) is building four tanks of 3000 cubic meters each to import and store JetA1 fuel.
During the trip, Sonk praised the great assistance of KCHL, PNG Ports, and Air Niugini, led by Minister Duma, in making this project a reality.
He explained that the current construction is only phase one of the project.
“This is a significant investment by Kumul Petroleum. Once phase one is completed and in operation, we will consider a second phase which will involve constructing additional storage tanks, pipeline and support facilities to cater for the import and storage of diesel and petrol.”
