Motorists across Malawi are now refueling without challenges following the successful haulage of fuel from Tanga Port in Tanzania. This development has brought relief to the nation after months of fuel shortages that affected businesses, transport operations, and daily activities.
As the appointed agent managing the Government-to-Government arrangement, The National Oil Company of Malawi (NOCMA) has been at the forefront of addressing the fuel supply challenges, ensuring that adequate petroleum products reach the country. In response to the shortages, NOCMA intensified efforts to secure alternative fuel import routes, leading to the commencement of fuel transportation from Tanga Port.
Speaking on the matter, NOCMA spokesperson Raymond Likambale reaffirmed the company’s commitment to maintaining a stable fuel supply. “We are pleased to see that motorists are now accessing fuel without difficulty. NOCMA will continue to load more petroleum products from Tanga to ensure that Malawi always has adequate fuel supplies,” said Likambale.
Motorists and business owners have expressed their gratitude towards NOCMA for its relentless efforts in resolving the crisis. Many have lauded the company for its swift action and strategic planning, which have contributed to the restoration of normal fuel distribution across the country.
As part of its long-term strategy, NOCMA continues to explore additional supply routes and enhance fuel storage capacity to prevent future shortages. The company remains dedicated to ensuring that Malawi’s fuel supply chain remains robust and reliable, supporting economic activities and the livelihoods of Malawians.
NOCMA assures the public that it will keep working closely with stakeholders to sustain the steady flow of petroleum products into the country. Motorists and businesses can now operate with confidence, knowing that fuel shortages are being actively addressed.
