Cameroon: Refinery fire


Issue 394 - 14 Jun 2019 | 1 minute read

A fire at the Sonara refinery in Limbe on the night of 31 May has put four units out of action but the energy minister has said the shortage will be covered by imports. The refinery declared force majeure after a tank exploded, causing a fire. “Flames consumed four of the 13 production units, stopping all the Sonara refining process,” Reuters quoted water resources and energy minister Gaston Eloundou Essomba as saying. “The market will remain supplied by imports.”
