It added that fuel tankers are currently waiting offshore to discharge at the port, ensuring the continuity of supply.The ministry clarified that the current stock of gasoline is sufficient to meet the country’s needs for 88 days, excluding contracted vessels within the supply chain scheduled to arrive successively in the coming period.
