Mobil Oil’s (Fiji) $2.5 million investment in a premium fuel tank has been termed timely by the Minister for Commerce, Trade, Tourism and Transport Faiyaz Koya.

The fuel company yesterday unveiled, what it describes as its largest petrol tank, at its Suva terminal.

Mr Koya said despite many challenges, including Cyclone Harold and COVID-19, Mobil had continued its plan to ensure reliable supply of fuel in Fiji.

He said as a result of the pandemic – investment plans of some businesses may have been on hold, however it was reassuring to see Mobil Oil (Fiji) continuing to invest in its presence in Fiji.

Mobil Oil country manager Adi Tamara said the newly commissioned tank stored premium unleaded petrol, which would help the company meet the growing demand for premium fuels in the country.

“With the addition of this new tank, we are increasing the capacity of our unleaded petrol at Suva terminal by nearly 200 per cent.

This is not only enough to supply the Suva market, but we are also able to supply additional fuel to Labasa as well as the back up for the West,” he said.

“I think we have seen a general increase in vehicles in Fiji — with most of the increase coming from hybrid vehicles — so that is indirectly leading to increase in demand for unleaded petrol.”
