The Tanzanian tanker, "M. T. Beacon", that disappeared from the northern Mozambican port of Nacala about a month ago, carrying 882,020 tonnes of fuel, is yet to return, reports Tuesday's issue of the Maputo daily "Noticias".

The fuel, worth about 345,000 US dollars, was to be delivered to Quelimane, the capital of Zambezia province, to supply the central region of the country, and there must now be fears that it has been stolen.

What fuel costs less than 50 cents per ton?

882,020 tonnes of fuel
worth about 345,000 US dollars

= $0.39/ton

The credibility of this story ended here for me.
