During the visit, the Committee toured the Kipevu Oil Terminus to a new facility that allows four ships to dock at the same time when unloading petroleum products. This reduces the cost associated with the demurrage. The Committee also toured the old refinery site in Changamwe. This refinery ceased its operation in 2012 and it is currently leased to Kenya Pipeline Company for storage.
