Khartoum – Sudanhorizon

The Sudanese Ministry of Energy and Petroleum announced on Saturday that it is moving forward with the implementation of the fuel import program in cooperation with private sector companies that have coordinated among themselves and organized into joint consortiums.

According to a statement issued by the ministry, thirty private sector companies have successfully completed the process of coordination and partnership, forming five consortium groups. These groups will be included in the fuel import schedule through the designated import windows during the upcoming period, in accordance with the technical and regulatory arrangements approved by the ministry.

The ministry said the step comes within its responsibility to secure the country’s petroleum supplies and ensure the stable availability of fuel in markets, aiming to prevent any potential supply shortages.

It revealed that nine companies have not yet completed the coordination and partnership process, noting that they will be incorporated into the program once they finalize their cooperative arrangements under a clear legal framework that ensures proper implementation and compliance with the program.

The ministry affirmed that public sector companies will continue to perform their planned role in supplying the market’s petroleum needs and will intervene to cover any potential supply gaps whenever necessary, ensuring stable fuel availability across the country.

It explained that these measures come in light of ongoing developments and changes in global energy markets, which require necessary precautions to secure fuel supplies in the coming period.

The Ministry of Energy reassured citizens that petroleum supplies are secure and that work is ongoing in coordination with all partners to ensure the smooth and regular flow of fuel.

Last February, the ministry confirmed the qualification of petroleum importers according to agreed standards after presenting them to all importers through a committee formed for that purpose. It reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining balance between the public and private sectors by allocating import shares equally at 50% for each sector, emphasizing the principle of partnership, fairness, sustainability of supplies, and smooth distribution according to needs.
