Well done our Minister of Energy and mineral development Ruth Nankabirwa, we appreciate your efforts in the energy sector.
Last week on Friday, I officiated the launch of the Lake Victoria fuel transportation project - Double Hull product tanker with support from Mahathi Infra Services Pvt. Ltd. We continuously celebrate the unwavering investment that we have received from Mahathi as far as transportation and storage of petroleum products is concerned. Together with Mahathi, the country has made substantial progress in our fuel transportation and storage endeavors. Currently, Mahathi has the capacity to transport 90 million litres of petroleum products per month with the operation of 2 ships. They also have a storage capacity of up to 70 Million litres giving us an upper hands in terms of buffer stock considering the current policy through Uganda National Oil Company Limited (UNOC).
