The pipeline is a 24-inch, continuously heated export line running from the Kabaale hub pumping station (PS-1) in Uganda’s Hoima region to the storage terminal in Tanga, Tanzania. It also features intermediate valve chambers, electric heat tracing (EHT) systems, high-voltage (HV) distribution, fiber optic (FO) cables, and EHT substations.
