The company operates a number of deep water trawlers for the processing and deep-freezing of fish. For bunkering of its trawlers, the company procures diesel from Engen Namibia (Pty) Ltd where it is stored in a 500 000 lire capacity above ground tank. ENGEN Namibia (Pty) Ltd is a leading marketer of liquid fuels and lubricants in the country. The existing Engen installations have a valid Petroleum Consumer License approved by the Ministry of Mines and Energy. The site operations and installation are in accordance with Engen Namibia (Pty) Ltd policies and regulations. In terms of the Environmental Management Act 7 of 2007 (Government Notice No. 29), certain activities may not be undertaken without an Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC). This activity is included in the above-mentioned list. An ECC was applied for and obtained for this facility. The ECC is valid for a period of three (3) years and has thus expired.
