A shipment of 81,600 metric tonnes of diesel, imported into Mombasa on May 14, is under scrutiny due to concerns about irregular fuel checks.

• The vessel, MT Fortitude, carried a consignment of high-sulphur fuel following a recent relaxation of standards.
• Industry experts are flagging a potentially irregular timeline and mismatched documentation, suggesting possible mid-sea fuel blending.
• This shipment is among the first to arrive in Kenya after the government relaxed fuel standards in April.
