CPC urges the public not to panic unnecessarily as they have sufficient stocks of fuel

Date:

The Ceylon Petroleum Corporation urges the public not to panic unnecessarily as they have sufficient stocks of fuel. The corporation states that there is no need to create unnecessary fear of running out of fuel.

The CPC states that the unloading of fuel from two petrol and diesel ships that arrived in the country has commenced and the fuel contained in those two ships will be sufficient for a few days.

A tanker carrying diesel and a tanker carrying petrol arrived near the Port of Colombo a few days ago but the unloading of fuel was delayed due to the dollar crisis. However, the ships have already been paid for and the unloading of fuel has begun. These ships carry 41,000 metric tons of diesel and 37,500 metric tons of petrol.

The Ceylon Petroleum Corporation states that two more fuel tankers are due to arrive in the country in the next few days.
