Citgo has said that fuel supply to the US has been substantially affected by hurricanes Ike and Gustav in the Gulf of Mexico, resulting in the shutdown of the Sabine Pass and Calcasieu Ship Channel navigation routes, adversely affecting oil shipments.
Alejandro Granado, chairman of Citgo, said: Citgo strictly adheres to its emergency and steady business plans, running its operations in a reliable way. We are lucky to have been able to keep our operations almost regularly during hurricanes Gustav and Ike, helping to ensure a steady supply of fuel to US consumers.
