Why is there a shortage of LPG?
According to the general manager of the Gamarra tap in ArequipaMariela Gamarra, The shortage is due to the fact that tankers take seven days to load LPG from the Pluspetrol plant in Ica. There are more than 300 units that would form long lines to stock up on fuel and then distribute them to regions.
“In these huge queues, they prioritize sending fuel to the country’s capital, leaving the southern and northern regions aside,” said Gamarra.
How long will the LPG crisis last?
Mariela Gamarra emphasized to La República that this LPG problem could continue. And it is that after running out of fuel in taps, they will not have the fuel until mid-September 8.
