Third tanker docks at Mormugao Port, Goa secures 15-day fuel stock

PANAJI: The third tanker of the month, M V Sanmar Sitar, docked at Mormugao Port today, bringing in around 18,000 metric tonnes of diesel and 8,000 metric tonnes of petrol, securing a 15-day fuel stock for Goa.

Sources at the depot said the state typically receives three tanker shipments every month and maintains a minimum buffer stock of about 15 days. 

The Department of Civil Supplies has also reiterated that there is no disruption in the supply of petrol, diesel, or LPG across the state, with adequate stock available at oil terminals and fuel stations. The department has assured that the situation is being monitored at the regional, district, state, and national levels.

President of the All Goa Petrol Dealers Association, Narhar Thakur, reinforced the assurance. "Tanker ships are scheduled to arrive every eight days, so supplies will continue uninterrupted,” Thakur stated, adding that arrangements are in place to meet bulk diesel requirements directly through companies.

Authorities have urged the public to avoid panic buying and unnecessary rush at fuel stations, cautioning that such behaviour creates temporary shortages and fuels anxiety. Citizens have also been advised not to spread rumours, especially on social media, and to rely on official information.
