The Mozambican Petroleum Importer (IMOPETRO) is looking for a new company to supply and transport approximately 1,150 thousand metric tons of refined petroleum products to the country via the ports of Maputo, Beira, Nacala and Pemba.

To this end, IMOPETRO has just launched an international tender for the new fuel supplier.

Data from the importer to which ‘Notícias’ has had access indicate that the quantities foreseen in the new import tender – 240,000 tons of gasoline, 50,000 tons of Jet and 860,000 of diesel – will ensure the domestic availability of resources for six months, starting from April of this year.

According to the source, the tender will be governed by procedures specified in the World Bank guidelines: Procurement under BRD Loans and IDA Credits.

“We still have an ongoing contract which will continue to ensure the availability of petroleum products on the Mozambican market in the period before the contract with the new entity comes into force,” IMOPETRO says.

All liquid fuel for sale in Mozambique (diesel, gasoline and jet fuel) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is imported by sea under a process centralized by law in a single entity, IMOPETRO, which is jointly owned by the petroleum product distributors operating in the country.

The quantities to be imported correspond to the demand for petroleum products in Mozambique.

Company proposals for the tender, which is held, as a rule, every six months, will be opened on the 21st of this month (January).
