The Trinidad & Tobago National Petroleum Marketing Company Limited (NP)says that it has activated its response protocols and procedures in light of the Tropical Storm Warning in effect.
The country is now on an ORANGE Level Tropi8cal Storm Warning.
In response to this NP also says it has implemented contingency measures to ensure that the national community and the aviation industry will continue to receive a steady and consistent supply of liquid fuels, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and jet fuel.
The company reports that its operations at both its Piarco and Crown Point Terminal facilities are equipped with an adequate supply of jet fuel, with Service Station deliveries of all liquid fuels set to continue as scheduled, to the extent feasible.
The Company says that dealers have been advised to maximize their storage capacity to mitigate any shortages ahead of the advancing weather system.
The company also is urging motorists to maintain their normal fuel purchasing patterns and avoid panic-buying, which will only serve to cause fuel shortages at the pump. NP also assures that LPG plant operations will continue as normal, with systems in place to prevent any disruption to supplies.
