An integrated terminal built to international standard — storage, automation, fire protection and power, engineered to keep product moving safely.
Across 14 above-ground tanks, our strategically located storage facility provides secure and compliant bulk liquid storage for five separate product grades.
Every tank is built to API 650 standard, fitted with automated level gauging and overfill protection, and served by dedicated pipelines that preserve product integrity from vessel to truck.
Storage capacity by product grade
Litres of certified storage across 14 above-ground tanks. Bars are to a common scale.
| Product | Tanks | Capacity | Type | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Automotive Gasoil (AGO) | 3 | 27,000,000 L | Vertical, Fixed Roof | API 650 · Automated level gauging and overfill protection · Dedicated pipelines |
| Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) | 3 | 27,000,000 L | Internal Floating Roof | API 650 · Aluminium floating roof · Zero vapour emission |
| Illuminating Kerosene | 3 | 6,000,000 L | Vertical, Fixed Roof | API 650 construction |
| Ethanol | 1 | 2,000,000 L | Vertical, Fixed Roof | Pressure-vacuum vent · Internal floating roof |
| Aviation Kerosene (Jet A-1) | 4 | 8,000,000 L | Vertical, Fixed Roof | Built to EI-1530 and JIG standards · Pressure-vacuum vent with desiccant · Epoxy-lined interior with floating suction |
All our tanks are located within reinforced concrete bund walls, designed to contain 110% of the largest tank's capacity in the unlikely event of a leak.
The tank farm is monitored by a vapour detection system and has dyke foam suppression for rapid fire response.
Emissions are minimised by the use of internal floating roofs, which reduce the internal vapour space for fire safety and ensure environmental protection.
Harnessing the power of technology to create a smarter, faster, and more reliable supply chain across East Africa.
We are at the forefront of adopting best-in-class automation solutions that enhance safety, reliability and visibility in our operations and service delivery.
We invest in systems that streamline individual tasks and also connect with each other to create a seamless, data-driven operations ecosystem. This integration allows for smarter decision-making, proactive problem-solving, and a more resilient service for our clients.
The Terminal Manager system provided by Honeywell is an innovative, cloud-enabled solution built for the specific requirements of controlling, monitoring and optimising distribution in bulk petroleum terminals.
TiiMS is a customisable software solution that offers data management and processing flexibility to terminal operations, and provides access through desktop and web-based clients.
At Lake Victoria Logistics, the safety of our personnel, assets, and the environment is paramount. We have invested in a comprehensive, multi-layered fire detection and suppression infrastructure that meets and exceeds the highest international safety standards.
Our fire safety strategy is built on the principles of early detection, rapid response, and effective suppression. Our systems are interconnected, providing automated and manual controls to handle any potential fire incident swiftly and decisively across all our facilities and vessels.
Our fire response strategy is built on the principles of early detection, rapid response, and effective suppression. The fire-fighting systems are interconnected, providing automated and manual controls to handle any potential fire incident swiftly and decisively across all our facilities.
Our storage tank farms and loading gantries are protected by advanced automated foam suppression systems. In the event of a fire, these systems rapidly deploy a blanket of specialised foam to smother the fire, cool the area, and prevent re-ignition.
We have installed three high-capacity vertical suction fire water pumps which abstract water from the lake at a flow rate of 927 cubic metres per hour, providing adequate fire-fighting cover and cooling for the storage tanks.
Optical flame and thermal heat detectors identify a potential fire incident in milliseconds.
The system automatically triggers audible and visual alarms and sends an instant notification to our central control room and the on-site emergency team.
The relevant suppression system (foam or mist) is automatically activated, targeting the specific zone where the fire was detected.
Emergency shutdown (ESD) protocols are initiated, cutting off product flow and de-energising electrical circuits in the affected area to prevent escalation.
Technology is only as effective as the people who operate it. We conduct rigorous, ongoing training for all staff and our dedicated Emergency Response Team (ERT) to ensure they are prepared to handle any situation.
In the world of logistics, consistent power is not a luxury — it is a necessity. Our robust, multi-redundant power backup infrastructure guarantees that our critical systems remain online 24/7, protecting your cargo and ensuring operational continuity, regardless of grid stability.
Our primary backup is a high-capacity diesel generator capable of powering our entire facility, including pumping stations, lighting, security, and control rooms. It is engineered for long-duration runtime in case of extended outages.
For our most sensitive electronic systems, including servers, automation controllers, and communication hubs, we utilise a centralised UPS. This provides instant, seamless power, bridging the gap before the main generator starts and protecting against power surges.
The heart of our backup system is the Automated Transfer Switch. This intelligent unit constantly monitors the main grid power. The moment it detects an interruption or instability, it automatically disconnects from the grid and signals the generator to start, seamlessly transferring the load to our backup supply.
Every week, our generators are started and run without a load to check fluid levels, battery health, and engine performance.
Once a month, we perform a simulated outage, transferring the facility's actual electrical load to the generators to ensure they perform under real-world conditions.
A comprehensive annual service is conducted by certified technicians, including changing filters, belts, and coolants, and performing detailed diagnostics.
