Gas Crisis Averted after BDL OKs Shipment Entry
The Syndicate of the Gas Filling Factories in Lebanon announced Friday that the Banque du Liban has approved the entry of a ship carrying 5,000-ton of liquid gas on Monday, August 23.
The syndicate reassured the Lebanese that "this vital substance will remain available in the coming days."
Oil importing companies had warned in a statement earlier on Friday that they “would not be able to supply the market with cooking gas, starting next Wednesday, August 25, unless the authorities take the appropriate measures.”
The companies had also called on authorities to “take the necessary measures quickly,” and “to agree on a price for gas, so that importing companies can buy and distribute it.”
