UNOC supplies 2.6 billion litres of fuel amid Vitol partnership

A senior Corporate Affairs Officer at the Uganda National Oil Company (UNOC) says the company has, to date, supplied 2.6 billion litres to 103 licensed marketers between January 2024 and June 2025. UNOC has been exclusively importing petroleum products since early 2024 under a five-year deal with global trader Vitol (via Vitol Bahrain). This includes establishing buffer stocks in Uganda and Tanzania to ensure supply reliability. By March 2025, UNOC had imported and delivered 1.9 billion litres of fuel (petrol and diesel) over the previous eight months, primarily through ports in Kenya and Tanzania. Rachel Nabisubi reports.
