El gobierno extiende el sistema público-privado de intercambio de crudo hasta finales de junio

El gobierno ha ampliado su sistema de intercambio de crudo con empresas privadas hasta finales de junio ante la incertidumbre en torno al estrecho de Ormuz. El sistema fue introducido en abril para estabilizar el suministro de combustible.

El Ministerio de Comercio, Industria y Energía anunció el 2 de junio que el gobierno ha extendido el sistema de intercambio de crudo con empresas privadas hasta finales de mes. El sistema presta reservas, principalmente crudo de Oriente Medio, a refinerías que aceptan reponerlas una vez que se aseguren suministros alternativos. Hasta la fecha, se han intercambiado un total de 21 millones de barriles bajo este sistema. Corea del Sur ha asegurado cerca del 85 por ciento de los suministros de petróleo previos a la guerra para su uso en julio y no espera interrupciones importantes en agosto. El ministro de Industria, Kim Jung-kwan, informó en una reunión del gabinete que los suministros asegurados para agosto continúan aumentando. El sistema estaba previsto inicialmente para funcionar durante dos meses, hasta finales de mayo.
