Myanmar has enough fuel stocks because nearly 3 million gallons of fuel oil are currently being unloaded at Thilawa port in Yangon Region and more vessels carrying over 6 million gallons of fuel oil are coming, according to a statement released by the Supervisory Committee on Import, Storage and Distribution of Fuel Oil. 

The committee is taking measures to ensure domestic sufficiency of fuel oil after scrutiny.

MT Aulac Vision Vessel carrying 2.9 million gallons of premium diesel and MT Yu Yi carrying 1.6 million gallons of diesel and 1.86 million gallons of premium diesel will be arriving soon to unload, said the statement guaranteeing enough domestic supply.
