Fiji Gas has reassured customers that there are no disruptions to the supply of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in the country, despite growing concerns over fuel availability.
In a public announcement issued today, the company said LPG supply remains secure even as global energy markets face uncertainty linked to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
“Fiji Gas wishes to reassure all our valued customers and the general public that there are currently no issues with the supply of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) to Fiji,” the statement said.
The company explained that LPG supply chains differ from petrol and diesel, which are more directly affected by international shipping routes.
“Fiji’s LPG is sourced directly from a regional supply chain and independent of the direct shipping disruptions currently seen in the Middle East,” Fiji Gas said.
It added that shipments remain on schedule, ensuring consistent supply across the country.
Fiji Gas also urged customers not to engage in panic buying or hoarding, warning that such behaviour could create unnecessary pressure on the system.
“We urge our customers not to engage in panic buying or hoarding,” the company said.
The company confirmed that its terminals in Lami, Lautoka, Sigatoka, Labasa and Savusavu are well stocked, with resupply continuing as planned.
“Cylinder deliveries and bulk supplies will continue as per our normal schedule,” the statement said.
Fiji Gas also highlighted safety concerns associated with storing excessive amounts of LPG.
“Storing excessive amounts of gas cylinders at home or in businesses is a significant safety hazard and is highly discouraged,” it said.
The company added that it continues to work with the Fijian Competition and Consumer Commission (FCCC) to ensure fair and transparent pricing, noting that any price changes typically follow a standard monthly adjustment cycle.
