The lengthy wait times for oil product unloading, particularly when traveling to other East African nations, are one of the primary difficulties that will be resolved by the completion of this project, according to the energy minister, Mr. January Makamba, who commented on the signing. He indicated that a shipment delay could last more than two weeks, which frequently results in a price increase for the item.
