A shortage of kerosene should have never been experienced in this country since substantial amounts of the commodity have been and still are in stock at the Sol Guyana Incorporated Bulk Terminal located at Rome, East Bank Demerara.This disclosure was made recently by an individual close to the local fuel industry who is of the belief that there would not have been a shortage of the fuel if Sol had opted to drop its stipulated high price on the product.It was revealed that while the average price tag for a gallon of kerosene is in the vicinity of $480 and $500, at Sol the price is a whopping $1,Stitched NFL Jerseys,127 per gallon, a price which was confirmed by a sales representative at the oil company.Of recent, customers of kerosene, one of the cheapest fuels available, have been faced with the challenge of acquiring it.Reports are that the Guyana Oil Company (GUYOIL) had run out of the much needed fuel and was awaiting a shipment, which according to reports has since arrived but has already been depleted. And even the supplies at the various Texaco Service Stations have been depleted.According to one retailer, Texaco had informed that a shipment of kerosene had arrived on Wednesday but tests were being carried out to ensure that the product is of an optimum quality.Sol Guyana Inc, on the other hand, never had a shortage of the fuel,Cheap Jerseys China, a revelation which was confirmed by Head of the company, Ken Figaro yesterday.Figaro,Cheap NFL Jerseys, who returned from his Christmas vacation just a few days ago, admitted that while it has been observed that there has been a shortage of the fuel on the local market there is very little that the company can do to help address the problem.According to Figaro, Sol had acquired its supply of kerosene at a time when the fuel price had escalated to almost three times the current price.He pointed out that since kerosene is a very slow selling product, Sol was stuck when a large quantity even after there was a rapid reduction of the price of the fuel, adding that by that time the other companies had probably exhausted their high-priced supply.And since the evident shortage of the fuel on the local market, several dealers had approached the oil company to rethink its pricing of the fuel. But according to Figaro, Sol will be operating at a loss if it decides to lower its fuel in order to satisfy the request of the dealers.“We do understand that customers want the cheapest possible price but we have to consider our acquisition cost…If we sell at the current market price it would take us several years to recover our losses,” Figaro insisted.According to him,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, this situation was explained in detail to the dealers. He added that the company had done an in depth analysis of the whole scenario.It was discovered, Figaro said, that if the Sol decides to reduce its price in order to compete, the other oil company will also reduce theirs,Wholesale Cheap Jerseys, causing Sol to plunge into a deeper dilemma.As such Figaro is of the opinion that the company has made the best possible decision not to reduce its current kerosene price.“We have to look at demand and supply. We are not gouging; we can’t just reduce our prices. We have to look at the market situation and if the dealers want they can buy what we have to offer… “However,Wholesale China Jerseys, Figaro noted that the company will be reviewing its current standpoint on the fuel price and will revise it if such a move is deemed feasible enough.

The government is studying the feasibility of getting back into the airline business, Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr Roger Luncheon has said.He said the project would involve fashioning a regime that would attract investors and the travelling public.Dr Luncheon said that government’s re-entry into the industry would depend on the financial and economic feasibility of such a move.He said that discussions are now focused on what it would take for the government to finance such a venture,Cheap Jerseys Outlet, including the cost of acquiring a plane and whether it would be registered in Guyana or not.“Guyanese may very well prefer to be travelling with a Guyanese-owned airline, almost like a niche. Some amount of competitive advantage creates some momentum and expectations that we have that this thing is feasible, but it generally calls for quite a bit of investment,” said Dr Luncheon.In doing the feasibility study, he said the government would have to determine how to avoid the flaws that led to the failure of the previous two airlines— Guyana Airways and Guyana Airways 2000.President Bharrat Jagdeo, in early March,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, said that his government has not ruled out getting back into the airline business.

If that is the case, Jagdeo said,Cheap Sports Jerseys, the Guyana Government could operate a service to Trinidad and Barbados.The government was once engaged in the airline business,NFL Jerseys Wholesale, but when leasing one aircraft and employing 500 workers with a US$10 million subsidy was no longer feasible, the airline was closed.He said that the country has done better over the years and in a discussion with his government Ministers about the fare structure of Caribbean Airlines, he did not rule out the government getting back into the airline business.The government had previously announced that it was looking to increase competition in the airline industry following moves by Caribbean Airlines to increase fares.President Jagdeo last year met with senior officials of Caribbean Airlines who then promised both a review of the fare structure as well as the quality of service the airline is providing.However, those promises evidently did not materialise.
