Oil marketers in Uganda without affiliate transport companies in Kenya will from next week pick their imported product consignments in Kampala, dealing a blow to transport firms that have for decades drawn revenue from shipment of petroleum goods from the Mombasa port.

The Uganda National Oil Company (Unoc), in a circular to oil marketing companies (OMCs), said it will ship fuel cargoes for oil firms without affiliates in Kenya, starting with the maiden shipments that are expected at the Mombasa port next week.
