The Presidential Secretariat states that payments have been made for the two gas ships that have been anchored in the sea near the Port of Colombo for more than a week. Accordingly, the stocks of gas stored in the relevant vessels will be unloaded expeditiously.
The Presidential Secretariat says that the unloading of gas will begin today.
The two ships were anchored in Sri Lankan waters for 11 days due to non-issuance of dollars required for payment.
Litro announced yesterday that it had run out of gas. As a result, gas filling and distribution operations have been suspended, the company said.
