The Union of Retail Trade of Fuels, Lubricants and Convenience Stores of the City of Rio de Janeiro (Sindcomb) reported today (21) that it follows the movement of tankers in the Campos Elíseos supply bases, in Baixada Fluminense. Tankers demonstrate against the price of fuel and freight. Champs Elysees bases were closed to avoid riots.
Sindcom reported that tanker trucks are managing to enter the distribution bases, escorted by the Military Police, to exclusively load the city’s bus companies. The press office of the Secretary of State for the Military Police reported “that military police from the 15th BPM (Duque de Caxias) are accompanying a demonstration in Campos Elíseos.”
According to the secretariat, so far, “the act takes place peacefully, there is no record of arrest or seizure”.
“Rio’s dealer stations are still waiting for the normalization of deliveries in order to serve their clientele until the weekend,” informed Sindcomb, in a note.
According to the union, the main fuel distributors such as Vibra, Raízen, a joint venture created from the merger of part of the businesses of Shell and Cosan, and Ipiranga, from Grupo Ultra.
This afternoon, the union will carry out an assessment of the movement that began in the early hours of this Thursday. At the end of the day, he will take stock of the effects of the suspension of operations. According to Sindcomb, stocks at service stations are already low, waiting for deliveries scheduled for today. If the entry of trucks is not released today, it is possible that they have fuel supply problems to make weekend stocks.
The stations usually work with inventories adjusted to demand, so they do not have extra reserves. Typically, orders from distributors are placed on Thursdays and Fridays for the weekend. The union’s expectation is that the opening of the supply bases will take place this afternoon.
Petrobras reported “that there is no impact on the company’s operations, in its operating units”. THE Brazil Agency tried contact with the direction of the union of the tankers category in Rio, but got no answer so far.
