The Dominican Petroleum Refinery and Coastal's San Pedro de Macoris terminal received 4.8 million gallons of LPG yesterday, which will contribute to ending the shortage that was being felt across the nation. Industry and Trade authorities said the shortage, which started on Wednesday, was due to the three-day delay in the arrival of a ship carrying 130,000 barrels. Reportedly, the ship was delayed as a result of bad weather. The refinery is expected to regularize its supplies to distributors. Another ship was expected at the refinery this morning. According to estimates, the country consumes approximately 750,000 gallons of LPG per day. It is used mainly for cooking and transportation.
