Four oil tankers arrived in Myanmar on November 11 and 12, and 15 more will arrive, the State Administration Council’s information team has reported.
In some of the 146 fuel stations in Yangon Region, 92 RON octane sales rose more than normal daily sales on November 10. Three terminals where domestic oil is stored lacked distribution power for all filling stations, resulting in fuel shortages. Therefore, fuel was distributed on an urgent basis on the night of November 10.
Currently, measures are being taken to ensure enough supply. There are over 13 million gallons of 92 RON, over 3 million gallons of 95 RON, over 1.4 million gallons of 97 RON, 29 million gallons of diesel, and over 20 million gallons of premium diesel. Measures are also being taken to continue distribution in time to prevent shortages, the information team said.
On November 11 and 12, four oil tankers arrived and 15 more are due to arrive.
The government is trying to obtain adequate fuel oil, and there has always been one month’s reserve of any kind of fuel in the country.
The Fuel Import, Storage and Distribution Supervisory Committee is taking close supervision to prevent fuel shortages as now is the time for travel season, the SAC’s information team said.
