The supply problems that occur in different parts of the country are being monitored by the Argentine Federation of Cargo Trucking Business Entities (Fadeeac) through the so-called “Diesel supply map”.
“We have been calling on the different responsible actors to take the necessary measures to guarantee the supply of basic supplies, such as fuel and tires; logistics is a fundamental activity for the economic life of the country and it is of vital importance that it works correctly,” affirmed the Business Chamber of Logistics Operators (Cedol).
Based on the latest report from the business chamber, between June 15 and 25, Tierra del Fuego was the only province in which cargo carriers had no problems with the gaswhile supply problems were reported in 23 districts.
The map is made from the responses of truck drivers and owners of some of the 4,500 SMEs that make up the 44 transport chambers gathered in Fadeeac.
The president of the entity, Roberto Guarneri, said that “without fuel our activity is unfeasible” and asked the national government to be summoned to participate in “Work Tables” to find solutions to this situation.
For its part, the YPF oil company announced yesterday that it will import over the next 45 days around 500,000 cubic meters of diesel to supply the local market, to respond to the strong demand for fuel that has been verified since the beginning of the year.
“In the next 45 days, YPF will import 10 ships with a total of almost 500,000 cubic meters of diesel. According to the tentative schedule, this week 2 ships arrive, 5 ships in July and 3 in August”specified industry sources.
This is due to the fact that the demand for diesel has been at historically high levels since the beginning of the year, and in the face of this growing market, YPF took actions to help respond to this situation.
“As a result, in the third week of June there was a 50% decrease in station breaks compared to the second week”pointed out the same sources.
In the country, between 15% and 20% of the local consumption of diesel -without considering the power plants- is supplied with imports.
In the case of YPF, diesel purchases abroad were 20% higher in the first quarter compared to those made in the same period of 2021.
