Supply chain and logistics proved critical to delivering the project in Zambia’s landlocked setting. Limited availability of qualified local contractors to build a petrochemical storage facility added to the challenge, prompting Zutari to conduct extensive audits and training to uplift standards.

By drawing on its global multidisciplinary experience in bulk fuel terminals, Zutari helped overcome these constraints and ensure that progress continued effectively.

By May 2020, the project had reached approximately 30% completion. While the original completion date was scheduled for the end of 2020, the global impact of Covid-19 necessitated a rescheduling to mid-2021. The Gulfstream Bulk Fuel Terminal continues to stand as a testament to the importance of experience, adaptability, and collaboration in delivering complex petrochemical infrastructure.
