The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Business Trade and Energy has been reliably informed by the major importers of petroleum products gasoline, diesel, and kerosene that sea swells have prevented the loading of products onto their vessels for export to Dominica causing delays in the delivery of petroleum supplies on island.<\/p>\n

Director of Trade, Mathan Walter, stated that the Office of Disaster Management has advised that strong winds associated with tropical disturbance AL99, are pushing in relatively large swells towards Dominica, Antigua and Barbuda, and other Caribbean islands.<\/p>\n

\u201cRegional media reports confirm severe wind and sea conditions have prohibited the landing of petroleum products in several Caribbean destinations. In our sister island of Antigua and Barbuda, there is a shortage of liquid petroleum gas or cooking gas as a result of those sea conditions,\u201d he said in a press statement.<\/p>\n

He noted the government of Dominica assures citizens that there are petroleum products including gasoline on island however citizens are urged to be conservative with their purchases as the ministry awaits an estimated time of arrival of the vessel bearing products into Dominica.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe expectation is that the products will be landed as soon as the swells decrease or are relaxed and the public is assured that every effort is being made to ensure that petroleum products will arrive on island during the course of the coming week. \u201c<\/p>\n

The chief executive officer of the Dominica Air and Sea Port Authority (DAPSA) has also reported challenges with the offloading of goods due to high sea swells over the past two weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Business Trade and Energy has been reliably informed by the major importers of petroleum products gasoline, diesel, and kerosene that sea swells have prevented the loading of products onto their vessels for export to…","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":295899,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[18,36,22,286,235,9,14,82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-295871","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-economy-development","category-environment","category-governance","category-homepage-carousel","category-news","category-regional","category-weather"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSea swells cause delays in receipt of goods, including petroleum products -
