NP made this revelation in a statement issued on Sunday, 18 December 2022, amid long queues and gatherings of motorists and other consumers in fuel stations across the country.
“The Management of NP (SL) Limited wishes to announce to all its customers that the vessel bearing fuel as announced in the NP public notice dated 12th December, 2022 has landed. NP has delivered on its promise of making fuel available to its customers,” NP stated.
NP added that, “The vessel contains over 12 thousand metric tons of petrol (PMS) for NP SL and will cushion the effect of the current fuel situation in the country.”
They disclosed that the vessel has landed safely and has fulfilled all protocols as per the Petroleum Regulatory Agency (PRA).
“Before the arrival of this vessel a first vessel arrived with over 18 thousand metric tons of diesel (AGO),” the company noted.
According to NP, these deliveries will ensure fuel availability till next year, adding that other vessels with products imported by NP SL are expected over the next two to three weeks.
NP went on to reassure all their customers that they are committed to delivering on their promise of supplying fuel to the nation.
