Local sales

In South Africa, the bulk of PetroSA's fuel and other fuel-related products are largely supplied to the major South African oil companies which market it through retail networks under their own brand names in parts of the Western, Eastern and Northern Cape provinces of South Africa.
Eighty per cent of the gasoline, diesel and kerosene is shipped from a single point mooring at Mossel Bay to the coastal cities of East London and Port Elizabeth.

The rest is supplied to oil industry depots in Mossel Bay from where the products are distributed by road and rail in the southern Cape and neighbouring regions of the Western Cape province.
The company also sells liquid petroleum gas, propane and small volumes of fuel oil, liquid oxygen and nitrogen and carbon dioxide on the South African market.
