Chisale said the involvement of local transporters will cater for 86.7 percent of fuel transportation into the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince 2018, there have been discussions with Nocma to empower associations to transport fuel into the country. Nocma has given us an okay to transport fuel from the port of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania to Malawi. This is a welcome move,\u201d Chisale said.<\/p>\n<p>He said the local transporters have the capacity to transport fuel into the country. \u201cWe are grateful to Nocma for trusting us to participate in fuel haulage,\u201d Chisale said.<\/p>\n<p>Nocma spokesperson Chisomo Mwamadi confirmed the development but stressed that the contracts are between the associations and the fuel suppliers. \u201cNocma has no transportation contracts with any association but has facilitated transportation agreements between its suppliers and associations,\u201d Mwamadi said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNocma is paying no one for any transportation services as the contracts are between the suppliers and transporter associations,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Professional Drivers Union Secretary General Mphatso Moleni said the union has also welcomed the move but was quick to add that 400 tankers are on the lower side.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need more tankers. We have 800 tankers on the ground and 400 are not enough,\u201d he said. Nocma is a State-owned company with the mandate to import and manage strategic fuel reserves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
