The governor outlined measures to combat the fuel crisis in Khabarovsk Krai.

Khabarovsk Krai Governor Dmitry Demeshin convened a working meeting to address the fuel crisis in the Vanino and Sovetsko-Gavansky districts. He wrote about this on his TELEGRAM channel.

"The current situation is unacceptable. Residents of municipalities shouldn't suffer from fuel shortages when two oil refineries are operating in the region," Demeshin said.

The governor reported that on September 30, 117 tons of AI-95 gasoline were delivered by rail to the coast of the Tatar Strait, and “all six gas stations are operating.”

The regional HEAD also noted that fuel shipments continue to meet the needs of both districts, which amount to approximately 300 tons daily.

Demeshin acknowledged the need to address the cause of the shortage, "namely, the fact that private gas stations were unable to purchase sufficient volumes of fuel on the exchange." He instructed Irina Gorbacheva, Deputy Prime Minister for Infrastructure, to establish direct gasoline supplies from refineries in Khabarovsk and Komsomolsk-on-Amur, "bypassing the exchange."

On September 30, RBK Primorye reported that the Sovetsko-Gavansky and Vanino districts of Khabarovsk Krai were facing a fuel shortage. The sole supplier of gasoline and diesel fuel to these districts, OOO AZS Transbunker, imposed restrictions on sales to individual customers.

Dmitry Chaika, head of the Sovetsko-Gavansky Municipal District, quoted a comment from Transbunker's gas station on his Telegram channel. it stated that one of the reasons for the shortage was "the closure of sales at other fuel retailers' gas stations." While they waited for deliveries, the sole remaining gas station dispensed only 30 liters of gasoline per tank and banned sales in canisters.

Fuel restrictions were already introduced in the region this fall . As Chaika reported, citing Transbunker gas station, on September 3, the company introduced a limit of 60 liters per tank and 20 liters per canister.

In August, a gasoline shortage was observed in neighboring Primorsky Krai, according to Elena Shish, the region's Minister of Energy and Gas Supply. She attributed the situation to two factors: increased tourist traffic and residents filling up not only their cars but also canisters.

Following this, the number of fuel tankers deployed to alleviate fuel shortages at the region's gas stations was doubled. On August 27, Primorsky Krai Governor Oleg Kozhemyako announced that gasoline prices in the region had begun to decline, and the regional office of the Federal Antimonopoly Service had taken control of the situation.
