Powering East Africa
In East Africa’s dynamic economy, reliable and efficient fuel supply isn’t just a convenience—it’s the lifeblood of industries, communities, and progress. From the bustling streets of Kampala to the expansive mines in the DRC, the consistent availability of quality petroleum products directly impacts business continuity and economic growth. This is where Open Ways Limited steps in, revolutionizing fuel logistics with an approach that prioritizes efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability.
Beyond Roads: Our Integrated Water-Road Transport Model
For decades, overland road transport has been the default for fuel distribution in the region. While effective, it comes with inherent challenges: traffic congestion, road wear, security risks, and higher operational costs. Open Ways Limited addresses these head-on with our pioneering integrated water-road transport model.
We strategically leverage Lake Victoria, utilizing modern barges to move significant volumes of fuel between key hubs like Kisumu and Kampala. This isn’t just about moving fuel; it’s about smart logistics. Our barges complete round-trips in under 48 hours, drastically cutting down transit times compared to traditional road routes. Once ashore, our robust inland distribution network ensures seamless, efficient delivery to your exact location.
The Triple Advantage: Speed, Savings, and Sustainability
This innovative approach delivers tangible benefits that set Open Ways Limited apart:
- Unmatched Speed and Reliability: By bypassing congested roads, we ensure faster turnaround times and a more consistent supply chain. This means fewer delays for your operations and greater product availability.
- Significant Cost Savings: Water transport is inherently more economical than road freight for bulk goods. Our clients can realize up to a 30% reduction in transportation costs, translating directly into more competitive pricing for essential fuels like Petrol (PMS), Diesel (AGO), Kerosene, and Jet A1.
- Environmental Responsibility: In an era where environmental impact matters more than ever, our water-based logistics offer a compelling advantage. Barge transport boasts a significantly lower carbon footprint per ton-mile compared to road transport, aligning your business with modern ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards and contributing to a greener future for East Africa.
