Indian Oil restores refuelling services in Andaman & Nicobar

Our Bureau

Kolkata , Dec. 30

INDIAN Oil Corporation has bolstered its refuelling services in the tsunami-affected areas of the Andaman & Nicobar Islands.

Damaged facilities have been restored and normal fuel supplies were being made to the Indian Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard and the state administration. In the Andaman & Nicobar Islands, IOC is the only oil company that has storage and marketing infrastructure.

According to a press release issued by the company, IOC has moved aviation fuelling facilities to parts of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, such as Nellore, Nagapattinam and Myladuthurai. Fuel storage facilities have been set up in these places to facilitate fuelling of aircraft involved in search and rescue and relief operations.

Till the situation is normal, IOC will continue to enforce a "non-stop" refuelling system with the required manpower and material support. Fuels for transportation and cooking have also been moved to the disaster-struck areas. Joint teams of IOC and IBP Ltd are co-ordinating the relief efforts, according to the release.
