Fuel supplies

[NewsWhore]

Industry and Commerce Minister Melanio Paredes has guaranteed that there are enough propane and diesel fuel stocks for the next fifteen days, even though Noel has damaged installations at the Dominican refinery in Nizao. Paredes explained that there is a tank containing 120,000 barrels of regular diesel and 50,000 barrels of premium diesel and 12 million barrels of liquid gas. He said this should be enough for businesses and transport. Paredes did warn however that it might be impossible to process crude oil in the next few days, and this will need to be imported. Paredes also said that a helicopter has been hired to fly around and determine if there is damage to fuel pipelines. Paredes also said that four ships carrying fuel would be arriving in the DR between 4 and 28 November.
