A delay has been reported in the unloading of the super diesel cargo yesterday due to bank clearances, Minister of Energy Kanchana Wijesekera said today.
In a Twitter message, the Minister said thereby, the discharging of the super diesel cargo commenced this evening.
An auto diesel cargo is rescheduled to arrive tonight and steps will commence to unload tomorrow.
The Ceylon Petroleum Storage Terminals Limited (CPSTL) will continue distribution during the night today to make up for the delays, he said.

The delay in unloading diesel has resulted in delays in the distribution of petrol and the CPC is working overnight to cover up the delays, he added. (NewsWire)
