ESL resumes fuel imports after 40 years

In a significant operational recovery, state-owned Ethiopian Shipping and Logistics (ESL) has resumed handling the country's petroleum imports, including from new international suppliers. This marks a historic first, as Ethiopia has now sourced fuel from within Africa.

The demand for jet fuel is largely driven by Bole International Airport's role as a major African aviation hub and the extensive operations of Ethiopian Airlines, a leading carrier on the continent. A recent breakthrough saw Ethiopia import jet fuel from a terminal in Nigeria, operated by the Dangote Petroleum Refinery at Dangote Quays, Lekki, owned by billionaire Aliko Dangote.
