BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-The National Oil Company of Malawi (NOCMA) has assured the public that a sufficient stock of fuel will arrive in the country soon to address the current scarcity.

According to NOCMA Chief Executive Officer, Clement Kanyama, fuel shipments are expected from the ports of Dar and Tanga in Tanzania and Nacala and Beira in Mozambique.

Kanyama stated that the government has made progress in finalizing procedures for the Government-to-Government (G-to-G) arrangement for importing fuel.

However, he noted that contracted suppliers will continue to bring fuel into the country until the G-to-G arrangement is fully implemented.

Recently, NOCMA received a significant number of fuel tankers, including 79 tankers on Friday, with 50 carrying petrol, and 42 trucks on Thursday, with 25 carrying petrol.

Additionally, 95 trucks were received on Saturday, with 79 carrying petrol, currently at the Songwe border.

Kanyama attributed some transportation challenges to weather conditions in the northern region, affecting fuel delivery to Lilongwe and Blantyre.

Nevertheless, based on the volumes arriving, he expects petrol supply stability to be achieved in the week starting Sunday.

A Maravipost spot check has revealed that most filling stations have started receiving fuel stock.
