Le Kenya et le Rwanda signent un accord historique sur l'importation de carburant via Mombasa

Le Kenya et le Rwanda ont signé un accord historique en vertu duquel le Kenya prendra en charge les importations de pétrole en vrac du Rwanda via le port de Mombasa et la Kenya Pipeline Company.

L'accord a été signé le lundi 29 juin 2026, lors d'une cérémonie présidée par le secrétaire de cabinet à l'Énergie et au Pétrole, Opiyo Wandayi. Les deux pays ont signé un protocole d'accord, un accord tripartite ainsi qu'un accord de transport et de stockage afin de rendre opérationnel ce nouveau dispositif d'importation de carburant.

Cet accord ouvre pleinement le corridor Nord au Rwanda pour l'importation de produits pétroliers raffinés en vrac dans le cadre de leur arrangement de gouvernement à gouvernement. Le volume de carburant en transit vers le Rwanda devrait passer d'environ 50 000 mètres cubes à plus de 500 000 mètres cubes par an.

Le Rwanda importe la totalité de ses produits pétroliers raffinés et dépendait jusqu'à présent principalement du port de Dar es Salaam. La première cargaison rwandaise prévue dans le cadre de ce nouvel arrangement devrait arriver au port de Mombasa en septembre.
