Sri Vijaya Puram: To ensure uninterrupted LPG supply to the far-flung islands of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) is planning to hire a dedicated vessel for the multi-modal transportation of packed LPG cylinders from Sri Vijaya Puram Bottling Plant to distributors and extension counters across the inter-islands.
A senior IOCL official on Friday said, "Due to disruptions in shipping schedules, LPG supply to several remote islands in this archipelago has occasionally been affected, causing severe inconvenience to the residents."
