In a special statement to Parliament on March 20, President Anura Kumara Dissanayake laid out a clear timeline for the arrival of several key fuel shipments, offering a glimpse into the government’s short-term strategy to manage the country’s energy needs.
Referring to a tender opened on March 17, the President detailed the staggered schedule of incoming supplies. A shipment of diesel is expected to arrive first, on either April 6 or 7, followed closely by Jet A-1 fuel between April 10 and 11. Furnace oil is scheduled to reach the country on April 12 or 13, while petrol shipments are anticipated slightly later, on April 16 or 17.
The announcement outlines a phased approach to replenishing fuel stocks, with each delivery set to arrive within a span of just over a week in April. By specifying the expected dates, the statement provides a structured timeline for the arrival of essential energy resources.
President Dissanayake’s update comes as part of ongoing efforts to keep Parliament informed on developments related to fuel procurement and supply logistics, highlighting the importance of timely coordination in ensuring continuity of energy availability.
