A series of propane gas (LPG) shortages in Santo Domingo and other main cities forced the President to meet with suppliers and distributors yesterday, to work out some sort of plan to reduce the recurrence of this problem. According to El Caribe, the President authorized the construction of three storage tanks in San Pedro de Macoris, another storage facility in Puerto Plata and the anchorage of a storage vessel holding 22.5 million gallons of LPG in the port of Azua. Investors from Miami and the Dominican Republic will build the facility in Puerto Plata. President Fernandez met with Jacques Boudet, the president of Geo Gas Trading, and Arturo Santana Reyes, the head of Coastal Petroleum Dominicana.
The storage vessel that will be based in Azua is due to be up and running within three weeks. The storage tanks in San Pedro de Macoris will hold three million gallons each and cost US$8 million to construct. Santana Reyes told reporters that the government has awarded a Mexican company with the contract for the construction of the tanks in San Pedro.
