M'bya Oil Terminal

The M'bya Oil Terminal, located 5 miles west-southwest of Pointe Tshibobo in Gabon, is an offshore loading facility associated with the Lucina and M'Bya Oil Fields. The terminal features a Floating Storage and Offloading (FSO) unit named "Mayumba" moored in 28 meters of water, surrounded by production platforms. Tankers can berth with the FSO, accommodating vessels up to 150,000 deadweight tons.

While the M'bya Terminal's function is industrial, the nearby town of Mayumba offers a haven of natural beauty and coastal charm. Explore the pristine beaches, lush forests, and diverse wildlife within Mayumba National Park. During June to September, keep an eye out for migrating humpback whales off the coast. Unfortunately, there are no specific shopping or nightlife options directly at the terminal, but venturing to Mayumba or other Gabonese towns will provide those experiences.
