Filipinas recibe 21.000 toneladas métricas de GLP procedentes de Estados Unidos

Filipinas ha recibido un cargamento de 21.000 toneladas métricas de gas licuado de petróleo (GLP) desde Estados Unidos para apoyar el suministro energético durante una emergencia nacional. El cargamento llegó el 30 de mayo y forma parte de los esfuerzos gubernamentales para estabilizar las reservas de combustible.

La Philippine National Oil Company confirmó la entrega en un comunicado. El GLP, que consiste en partes iguales de propano y butano refrigerados, provino del puerto Enterprise en Texas. Fue adquirido a través de Trafigura Pte. Ltd. el 13 de abril y almacenado en la terminal de South Pacific Inc. en Calaca, Batangas.

El envío respalda el Programa de Seguridad Energética de Emergencia del Departamento de Energía. La PNOC coordinó los requisitos operativos y las normas de seguridad antes de la llegada. El combustible ayudará a mantener los niveles de inventario y a abordar posibles problemas de suministro en áreas clave.

La vicepresidenta sénior de la PNOC, Graciela Barleta, afirmó que la entrega demuestra acciones concretas por parte del Departamento de Energía y la PNOC para fortalecer las reservas de combustible y garantizar la disponibilidad continua de GLP durante la actual emergencia energética nacional.
