DILI, 15 march, 2022 (TATOLI)- The National Authority of Petroleum and Mineral (ANPM) is acknowledged Global company is not the main import petroleum. However, global is a distribution company in Timor-Leste.
Downstream Directorate, Nelson de Jesus recognized Global company did not fulfill the criteria for providing Crude Oil Gallons. These are the main tanks to collect all imported oil before distributing.
Global Company as a main import petroleum supplier in the last six years. Thus, the company was eliminated based on the decisions of ANMP, the company utilized ISO tanks for collection fuels.
“ANPM identified that ISO tanks are not proper tanks to ensure a safe environment. It is required to provide the main oil station before distributing to the mini fuels station” Downstream Directorate, Nelson de Jesus told Tatoli at his office, this tuesday.
