Auto diesel shortage hits import-export container transport! (VIDEO)

Date:

The shortage of auto diesel at almost every petrol stations around Colombo has had a severe impact on the import-export container transport, revealed President of the All Ceylon Container Carriers Owners and the All Ceylon Container Integrated Transport Forum Sanath Manjula, speaking to a briefing today (15).

The situation occurred since last night and the absence of diesel has led the import-export container transport to suffer severe inconveniences, he disclosed.

The same situation occurred for three days last week.

Should the problem continue, they may have to withdraw from container transport duties, Manjula warned, urging the government to provide an immediate solution.

He added that discussions will be held with the Subject Minister on learning the possibility of obtaining fuel for containers from filling stations located at the port premises.
