The Guyana Power and Light Inc received formal notification on the day of the Tobago fuel spill informing that there would be a delay in the delivery of 75,000 barrels of Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) ordered and to date the company has not delivered the fuel.
“No, it still has not been delivered…,” GPL’s Chief Executive Officer Kesh Nandall told the Stabroek News yesterday when contacted and asked about the delivery.
News of the extended delay came even as the Trinidad Guardian yesterday reported that a Panamanian firm is at the centre of the Tobago spill, the cargo was worth US$2 million and there were Guyanese connections.
