ROAD TRANSPORTATION

Over 90% of our fuel comes by road. We have a Malawian broking company (IHB) that mobilizes transportation on our behalf. Through this company, we have access to over 600 road tankers that load our product. we have seen the fleet of Malawian transporters growing over the years to above 100 transporters. The growth of the fleet and number of transporters is a clear indication of the partnership that is there between PIL and local Transporters. It reflects the mutual benefit that is there in using that kind of set-up. We have plans to engage other brokers in order to maintain competition and have alternatives. We have three Tanzanian transporters that work directly with us in Dar es Salaam. This is purely done in order to have alternative transportation and ensure the stability of supplies.
