Pressure mounts on EACOP insurers amid carbon push

Groups opposing TotalEnergies' plan for an East African pipeline have called on insurance and reinsurance brokers to steer clear.

Total East Africa Midstream announced a tender seeking “experienced and reputable insurance/reinsurance brokers”. Interested companies should express interest by June 19 for work on the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP).

The company said it required reinsurance and insurance to work on placement in the local and international markets. They would also have to link up with the Tilenga insurance programme.
