It should be remembered that Mt. Kabaka Mutebi 11 left Uganda on the 21st of December 2022 to Kisumu to collect fuel for the first time.

The ship was flagged off on the 29th at 2pm, it docked in Kawuku at exactly 6:30m on today 30th. 
"We are building 4 Fuel Ships which are longer than Nambole stadium & each carries 4.5 million liters & will reduce the transport costs tremendously" - Cpt. Mukula. 

Mukula, further says that On September 9th, 2021 Mahathi Infra Uganda LTD held an event at which they unveiled Uganda's largest water transport ship so fore, this ship is 118 meters by 23 meters, for context, one ship is larger and longer than Mandela Stadium, commonly known as Nambole.

According to Mukula, this is important because it's a significant investment that has gone into this country that may most likely change what is  opening the fuel sector, following that  event,

"Mahathi Infra Uganda LTD  is  going to change the way that Uganda Imports fuel, today What happens is that any of you who has used the routs either from Malaba  or Mombasa to Kampala knows that one in every ten cars on that route at any one time is a fuel truck"-Mukula.

The project manager -Dinesh Donadi says the ship constructed by Mahathi Infra Uganda LTD, will bring in 4.5 million liters of fuel, twice a week. Statistics show that  Uganda's consumption of fuel is 5 million liters every day.

according to Dinesh Donadi, there will be a reduction in the number of trucks that we have on routes of Malaba and Busia which will be the pick game-changer for several reasons, ie save our roads and reduce risks of accidents
"before the fuel has arrived in Mombasa by ship and then it is transported to Kampala by truck, Mahathi is going to change that because fuel will come direct from Kisumu, be Pumped in mahathi terminals, then to uganda in Kawuku,where other stakeholders like Vivo Energy,Total,Shell,Mogas,Kobil, Orex etc, well collect it from Kawuku cutting on costs and this may lead to reduction of fuel prices" - project manager -Dinesh Donadi.
