PORT-AU–PRINCE, April 6 (NNN-Prensa Latina) — The severe shortage of gasoline Haiti has been experiencing in recent days, along with the energy crisis and popular discontent, threatens the precarious stability of the country.
In the past few week, crowded or closed fuel stations are part of the daily panorama, and irregular gasoline sales proliferate in small private businesses and at outrageously high prices.
According to Novum Energy supply company, which has a ship loaded off the coast of Port-au-Prince since late February, the Haitian State owes more than 60 million dollars, and the product will not be delivered until the government submits a written payment plan for a total amount of 52.75 million dollars.
Upon receiving this signed payment program, Novum will immediately order a partial discharge of the gasoline shipment, and after scheduled disbursements, we will deliver the remaining volume, the company said in a statement.
Novum Energy assured the situation has become untenable for the company and its ship, in which about 150,000 barrels of gasoline are transported. The ship has remained out of Haiti since Feb 27, waiting for payments and the official calendar to receive the remaining amounts. — NNN-PRENSA LATINAemas Relacionados:
