About
AMBO-Pipeline Ltd
​The main benefit for oil companies and shippers to use AMBO-Pipeline Ltd is the reduction of delays, costs, and economies of scale transferring from smaller Tankers in the Black sea to loading into the largest oil tankers available.
​
The aim of the 814KM pipeline is to bypass the Turkish Straits and the Dardanelles in the transportation of oil. The pipeline is projected to cost US$2 billion and will have a capacity of 900,000 barrels per day. There will be four pump stations, two in Bulgaria and one each in North Macedonia and Albania, constructed along the route.
Mission
AMBO-Pipeline LTD's mission is to reduce the crazy amount of shipping congestion that occurs in the Turkish straits. This helps us reduce overall the carbon footprint by using the pipeline instead of ships. Our plan is to continue building and increasing the efficiency of the oil transportation of from Eastern Europe to the rest of the world.
