In a remarkable move to enhance the operational efficiency of local law enforcement, NP (SL) Limited has unveiled state-of-the-art mobile fuel tanks for the Sierra Leone Police Force. The innovative solution aims to streamline refueling operations, ensuring police vehicles remain on patrol longer and respond to emergencies swiftly.
As a practical solution to keep the police fleet ready for action at all times, the units are installed in two locations: Freetown East, Ross Road Division, and West, Lumley Division.
The mobile fuel tanks, installed in a container, boast of a capacity of 10,000 litres and are equipped with advanced safety and dispensing technology. The key features include:
Mobile Refueling Capability: The tanks can be easily moved around.
Advanced Safety Systems: The tanks are equipped with an explosion-proof, flow meter and filtration capability, which act as a fire suppression system to ensure the highest levels of safety.
Real-Time Monitoring: The fuel tanks include a Tank Gauging system, which allows the Force to monitor the quantity dispensed and storage levels.
At the launch at the Lumley Division, Sales Manager, NP (SL) Limited Mr. Vandi Bockarie emphasized the importance of supporting law enforcement officials with the innovative solution. The Manager noted that the support is anchored on the Company’s mission to provide easy access and maintain a steady supply of Petroleum products to everyone.

The Police is our friend, and this endeavor is geared towards aiding their mobility to a level that is easier, swift and secured.”
Representing the Inspector General of Police, Local Unit Commander, Bob Mansaray thanked and appreciated NP for the incredible endeavor to introduce the tanks. The LUC noted that the initiative is to boost the operational readiness of the Force. He mentioned that the stress of acquiring fuel is over. LUC Mansaray said the effort is laudable, as it is meant to capacitate the Police in terms of logistics to carry out their duties. “We are grateful to NP for an extensive and dependable service to the SLP. I know for certain that they are going to continue maintaining the relationship that has existed between us over the years”
The operational impact of the mobile fuel tanks is to provide onsite refueling services. This will significantly reduce downtime, enabling a quicker and more effective response to incidents and emergencies for the Force.
