Premium gasoline was again available at local gas stations yesterday as the Dominican National Refinery (Refidomsa) resumed dispatching the fuel to tanker trucks. There were long lines of tankers, and drivers told Diario Libre reporters that they were having to wait for up to three hours. According to the report, things got "congested" close at around midday when the refinery called for a "technical halt" to the dispatch of fuels in order to rest the equipment. Premium gasoline was in very short supply over the weekend and the refinery was only able to service the demand after the arrival of a ship carrying 5.5 million gallons. In the two weeks since Tropical Storm Noel hit the country, the refinery has not been able to process fuels due to damage to several of the pipelines. Repairs to the lines are under way, according to reliable sources at the refinery.
