West Indies Oil Company Limited (WIOC) advises the public that it has observed a sudden and significant increase in the purchase of LPG cylinders across the island, amid unnecessary public concern and speculation.

WIOC wishes to assure all customers that there is an adequate supply of LPG and sufficient cylinder availability to meet normal consumer demand. There is no shortage of product or cylinders, and there is therefore no need for members of the public to stockpile at this time.

WIOC also wishes to clarify that there have been no discussions with the Government of Antigua and Barbuda concerning any increase in the price of LPG cylinders.

The Company is monitoring the situation closely and is taking the necessary measures to ensure the continued reliable supply and distribution of LPG throughout Antigua and Barbuda.

Customers who experience any localized supply or distribution difficulty are encouraged to contact WIOC’s Call Centre at 462-WIOC (9462) or by email at support@westindiesoil.com.
