It was reported that over 100 fuel tankers destined for Malawi are stuck in Tanzania amid fears that the country’s fuel importers do not have fuel volumes to dispatch to the country. Responding to the matter, the International Haulage Brokers (IHB), a local body which coordinates fuel transportation in the country, has given an assurance of continued fuel supply. 

Speaking to The Nation, IHB General Manager, Chrispin Mussa said there are about 400 trucks on the Beira route in Mozambique to Malawi and 165 on the Dar es Salaam route destined for Malawi.

The GM also noted that the circulating rumors are worse than the actual happenings on the ground, as the delayed trucks are not news, adding that the development has never affected fuel supply.
