The 45-million-barrel Saldanha Bay oil storage terminal in the Western Cape, the largest in the southern hemisphere, has been a vital outlet for surplus crude during past slumps, including the Great Recession of 2008 to 2009.
The facility is close to full, said four people with knowledge of the site’s operations. Several other people said all of the capacity there had been leased to trading houses, but space remained in some of their tanks and they expected additional crude deliveries.A spokesperson for South Africa’s Central Energy Fund, which manages the country’s energy assets, declined to comment.
