In 1981 DH Moosa and his son Akbar travelled to Europe to view new technologies in refining and ordered a 150-tonne per day refinery. The equipment purchased for the physical refining of oil was largely automated and the most cost-efficient plant at the time. In fact, it was the first automatic refining process for South Africa.

We own and operate the country’s third-largest crude oil refinery in Cape Town, which has a daily nameplate crude processing capacity of 100,000 barrels and a lubricant manufacturing plant in Durban. Part of South Africa’s history for over 100 years
- How does Cape Town refinery work?
- At our Cape Town refinery we are dedicated to producing the finest fuels through our refining process: Crude oil arrives by oil tanker in Saldanha Bay for discharge and is then transported to Cape Town refinery via pipeline.
- Which Sasol refineries are still operational in South Africa?
- Out of South Africa ‘s six refineries, only Sasol’s Natref crude oil refinery and its Secunda coal -to-liquids plant are currently operational. A Sasol spokesperson said the Natref is ramping back up this week after declaring force majeure on crude oil supplies last month.
- Where is our refinery located?
- Our refinery is located between residential communities in the Cape Town area, so we take extra care to make sure we take the necessary steps to protect our employees, their families and our neighbouring communities. Petroleum refining is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the world.
- Why did FFS start supplying marine fuels in Cape Town?
- 2018 proved to be a turning point for FFS, as we officially began the supply and bunkering of Marine Fuels in Cape Town. This landmark undertaking has enabled international fishing vessels, oil rigs and other shipping to return to Cape Town. These vessels were abandoned a few years ago when fuel supply was extremely limited.
