The 1,069-mile Tazama Pipeline transports crude from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania to Zambias Indeni refinery. The pipeline, jointly owned by the governments of Zambia (67 percent) and Tanzania (33 percent), has a capacity of 22,000 bbl/d. In October 2004, the Zambian government decided not to privatize the Tazama Pipeline due to the facilitys strategic importance to the national economy. Serious problems facing the Tazama Pipeline include vandalism and the deterioration of pumping equipment.
The Mozambique-Zimbabwe Petrozim Petroleum Products Pipeline runs from the port of Beira in Mozambique through Feruka, Zimbabwe to Msasa, located near Harare. Zimbabwe imports 80 percent of its petroleum through the pipeline. Zimbabwes Noczim is planning to construct an additional Oil-product pipeline from Beira to Msasa to help meet Zimbabwes oil demand.
