Sri Lanka`s Ceylon Petroleum Co (Ceypetco) has unexpectedly shut a unit at its 50,000 barrels-per-day refinery, reducing its jet fuel production, a company source said on Monday.
The shutdown is expected to last a week, said the source who was speaking on condition of anonymity as he was not authorised to speak to the media.
The source did not give details about the affected unit or its capacity. The reason for the shutdown is also unclear.
`The production of jet fuel has been affected and a shortfall of 7,000 tonnes of jet fuel is expected,` the source said.
The domestic shortfall in jet fuel has caused the company to seek a prompt middle distillates cargo in the international market for delivery in early May, traders said.
The cargo, comprising 75,000 barrels of 0.25 percent sulphur gasoil and 80,000 barrels of jet fuel, is for delivery over May 7-8. The tender, which was issued on Monday, closes on Monday and is valid for 72 hours.
Ceypetco has scheduled planned maintenance at its refinery for two months from July, which is expected to cause a spike in imports into Sri Lanka during the period.
The company is a regular buyer of gasoil, jet fuel and gasoline, typically purchasing about 800,000 barrels to over 1 million barrels every month, traders said.

What do you really know of Sri Lanka , Man? You pick bits and pieces from here and there and make idiotic comments and most of them are hearsay. Putin must be 'putting' well and truly into you (you know where) to blow up your brain the bottom to reach the top.

ri Lanka's Ceylon Petroleum Co shuts refinery unit -source
Hmm..this is not a good sign. Fuel costs are a problem and energy conservation has to be a big part of the solution. Mass transit on the roads is good but not the trains. Politicians do not care because their fuel allowance is paid for by the government.
On another note,
This mosque fiasco is being used by diaspora and peelamists to their advantage as predicted. Even TNadu nut Karu has commented on it.
If the mosque was there since 1963 as claimed, it should be allowed to remain. Dambulla temple is a big business as I understand it and priests there may not be very clean.

What nonsense this Hakim guy talking about..!
According to Tamil sources in Colombo, Hakeem is going to be replaced by a Mahannayake from Kandy...! The next Justice Minister will be a saffron-clad Monk..!
Doubts remain if such monk can unbiasedly settle a dispute pitting violent Taliban-Buddhists against low-abiding Muslims...! |

The British government said that there was no evidence that returning migrants and refugees from the UK to Sri Lanka were abused, a latest report said
Diaspora will make sure they are abused somehow. |

My friend, NA....
Karu is a visionary....! He sees the future in a Great Tamil Nation...! Thats what 100 million Tamils want...!
The annexation of whole island to TN is unavoidable under such scenario... it may take another 70-100 years...but it will happen..!

NA, buddy...

This is not what 100 million Tamils want...! They want the old glory...that means claiming the property that Tamil ancestors owned... which include the whole island which is partly inhabited by immigrants called Singalaas...! |
