East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) LTD invites experienced and reputable companies to express their interest in providing Mangrove Habitat Restoration Services and Net Gain Programs for Tanga Region for the EACOP project.

The length of the pipeline will be 1,443 km, of which 296 km will be in Uganda and 1,147 km in Tanzania.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SCOPE OF THE SERVICES EACOP’s project marine facilities at Chongoleani Peninsula include a Marine Storage Terminal (MST), a 2Km jetty and a load-out-facility (L0F). A small area of seagrass habitat will be impacted by the construction and operation of the ley. A Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) has been prepared.
