Africa's richest man, Ethiopia and Djibouti to build $660m fuel pipeline Bloomberg via Getty Images Aliko Dangote made his fortune from cement in Nigeria Ondiro Oganga 2 hours ago Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote, Ethiopia and Djibouti have agreed to develop a $660m (£500m) petroleum pipeline and storage project linking the two countries. The project will include a 120km- (75 mile-) pipeline connecting Djibouti's Damerjog port to a distribution facility in Dewele, Ethiopia, as well as storage capacity of about 400 million litres.
该项目将包括一条长120公里（75英里）的管道，连接吉布提的达梅尔若格港至埃塞俄比亚德韦莱的一个配送设施，以及约4亿升的储存容量。预计将在18个月内投入运营。
It is expected to begin operations within 18 months. Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said the pipeline would reduce the time needed to transport fuel from Djibouti's port to the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, from five days to one.
埃塞俄比亚总理阿比·艾哈迈德表示，该管道将把燃油从吉布提港口运往埃塞俄比亚首都亚的斯亚贝巴所需的时间从五天缩短至一天。第一阶段将运输关键石油产品，包括航空燃油、柴油和汽油。
The first phase will transport key petroleum products, including jet fuel, diesel and petrol. Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, Dangote said the project would strengthen Ethiopia's energy security and make its fuel supply chain more resilient.
在奠基仪式上，丹格特表示，该项目将增强埃塞俄比亚的能源安全，使其燃油供应链更具韧性。
Landlocked Ethiopia relies heavily on Djibouti's port for imports, including petroleum products. The new infrastructure is expected to reduce pressure on existing transport systems supporting industries, including transport, aviation, agriculture and construction.
作为内陆国家，埃塞俄比亚严重依赖吉布提港口进口包括石油产品在内的货物。新基础设施预计将减轻现有运输系统的压力，支持运输、航空、农业和建筑等行业。吉布提也有望从港口活动增加、就业创造和政府收入提高中受益。
Landlocked Ethiopia relies heavily on Djibouti's port for imports, including petroleum products. The new infrastructure is expected to reduce pressure on existing transport systems supporting industries, including transport, aviation, agriculture and construction. Djibouti is also expected to benefit from increased port activity, job creation and higher government revenues.
该项目是丹格特在非洲各地扩展基础设施和制造业务的更广泛战略的一部分。
The project is part of Dangote's wider expansion of infrastructure and manufacturing businesses across Africa.
丹格特水泥年产能约为5500万吨，而他在尼日利亚的炼油厂目前日处理原油能力为70万桶，并寻求将其翻倍至140万桶。
Dangote Cement has production capacity of about 55 million tonnes a year, while his oil refinery in Nigeria currently has capacity to process 700,000 barrels of crude a day and is seeking to double that to 1.4 million barrels a day.
该炼油厂最近在尼日利亚证券交易所上市了41亿股普通股，旨在筹集约16.3亿美元（约合12亿英镑）。
The refinery recently listed 4.1 billion ordinary shares on the Nigerian stock exchange, aiming to raise about $1.63bn (£1.2bn).
在肯尼亚，该公司预计下周将在拉穆动工兴建一座拟建的日产70万桶原油炼厂。
In Kenya, the company is due to break ground next week on a proposed 700,000-barrel-a-day crude oil refinery in Lamu.
