More than 643 fuel tankers reached Bamako on Saturday after an overnight military escort, in the latest effort by Mali to secure fuel supplies to the capital.
The convoy arrived at about 7 a.m. on October 3, according to the Directorate General of Trade, Consumption and Competition.
Customs officials, trade authorities and police then directed the tankers to fuel depots and service stations across Bamako.
Authorities did not disclose the volume of fuel carried or the breakdown between diesel and gasoline.
The delivery comes as Mali, a landlocked country, depends heavily on road routes linking it to regional ports for fuel imports. Between September 14 and 20, some 1,273 tankers delivered 57.99 million litres of diesel and gasoline, according to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.
Fuel stocks at the OMAP, Sanké and Star Oil depots stood at more than 20 million litres combined as of September 20. Authorities also reported that another 1,278 tankers were being routed to Bamako.
The latest convoy follows the arrival of 980 tankers under military escort on September 6, as security forces continue to protect major fuel shipments into the capital.
