Two fuel tankers arrive at Baniyas refinery in Syria as authorities act to stabilize supplies
LONDON: Two fuel tankers carrying a combined total of nearly 70,000 tonnes of diesel and liquefied gas arrived on Monday at Baniyas terminal in Syria, as transitional authorities in the country seek to stabilize domestic fuel supplies.
The shipments included 64,324 tonnes of diesel and 5,620.3 tonnes of liquefied gas, the Syrian Arab News Agency reported.
The state-owned Syrian Petroleum Company said it had started the process of connecting the vessels to terminal facilities and transferring the cargo to storage tanks after completing technical procedures.
The deliveries come as the Energy Ministry pushes to secure steady flows of fuel following supply shortages and a surge in demand triggered by recent price cuts.
