Transporters
The transportation of fuel is a highly specialized industry. Every single vehicle is mandated to possess a safe loading permit for every depot from which it retrieves its cargo.
As of now, we have engaged the services of well-established and reputable logistics firms. Crusade Logistics and Inyameko with locations in Durban, East London and Gqeberha, are responsible for delivering fuel to multiple fuel stations within our network.
