President Anura Kumara Dissanayake says there are delays in crude oil shipments due to the ongoing war in the Middle East.

The President said two shipments of 90,000 MT of crude oil have been delayed despite long-term tenders being awarded. Meanwhile, another shipment by a private sector fuel distributor has also been delayed, he said.

The President made these comments during an engagement with journalists in Colombo.

He explained that these delays are likely to disrupt supply, stating that even a single delayed shipment could affect the fuel distribution network and prevent meeting targeted supply levels.

Commenting on LP gas supplies, the President said that a shipment of 38,000 MT of Litro LP gas has already arrived this month, with a further 33,000 MT expected within the next two days. (NewsWire)
