That\u2019s the extent through which we have been making efforts to get the product there. And the captain told us that he is waiting to offload, to discharge in St Kitts and the next stop on his itinerary is Dominica.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Skerrit said going forward the government is going to increase the storage capacity of gasoline at Petrocaribe and create a national reserve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we will be constructing additional tanks for gasoline and to create a national reserve for the country,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are about, in the next few weeks after the holidays, we will enter into an agreement with a regional supplier of petroleum products or gasoline, on top of our arrangement with PetroCaribe, so that we can have a national reserve in the event of such eventuality that we can provide the private sector if they have difficulties in bringing it in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said such move is not to compete with the private sector but to compliment it.<\/p>\n<p>Skerrit also revealed that Dominica has received three shipments of petroleum products from Venezuela in the last couple months but sanctions placed on the South American country has made trading difficult.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVenezuela has not been able to transact with petroleum products to the extent that they did before the sanctions came into effect,\u201d he explained. \u201cAnd even with the ability now to supply petroleum products they are hampered by transportation because shipping companies are still not prepared to do business with Venezuela because of the fear that they will violate the sanctions on Venezuela and find themselves in problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the shipments included four to five thousand barrels of gasoline which were then used to supply Rubis gas stations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe expect to get a shipment from Venezuela soon on this and of course with the increase of (storage) capacity, we can get any quantity we want from Venezuela once we have the storage capacity,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>The prime minster described present gasoline situation in Dominica as \u201cunfortunate\u201d but said that it is not fair to blame the government for it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the same people I hear and I see, it\u2019s the government\u2019s fault are the same people who criticize the presence of Petrocaribe,\u201d he noted. \u201cBut I believe in our strategic plan, I believe the government must have at its disposal, for its own national security and its own national economy, to be in a position to have a national reserve and is something that we have never done in our life time as a country and I think with all of the challenges we have with supply chain and all sorts of things, I think it is important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Previously, the government had said that shipments of gasoline were expected in Dominica on December 22, 25 and 27.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the country presently facing an acute gasoline shortage, a boat with the precious commodity is expected in Dominica either tonight (Thursday) or tomorrow (Friday) morning, Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has revealed.
