The Dominican Petroleum Refinery (Refidomsa) reported it resumed fuel dispatches on Thursday, 7 September 2017. Engineer Hector Grullón, general manager of Refidomsa PDV, said Hurricane Irma did not affect the country as expected, as reported in Acento. He said the dispatching of fuel on Wednesday as of midnight was a routine action taken for security reasons given the expected passing of the hurricane. Sales were resumed on Thursday pm.
Refidomsa reports that the hurricane did not affect the south of the country making it possible to resume the dispatching of fuel on Thursday. Refidomsa said that propane fuel is being dispatched as normal from the Azua terminal.
Grullón explained that as a preventive measure the fuel dispatches during the critical period were limited to the daily average volume of the client to avoid speculation and ensure distribution. He said Refidomsa fuel inventory is sufficient to meet the local demand.
