Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The chairman of Galp Mozambique, Paulo Varela, said on Wednesday that outages in the supply of cooking gas in the country would be \u201ca thing of the past\u201d as a result of the company\u2019s investments in storage and bottling.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe supply disruptions that occasionally affected the country will be a thing of the past,\u201d Varela said.<\/p>\n

The manager was speaking during the inauguration of renovation work at Galp\u2019s factory to fill gas bottles in Matola, Maputo province, southern Mozambique.<\/p>\n

The renewed infrastructure, he said, would make that fuel more available and more widespread, with coal and wood still predominant.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the new filling unit is operating at full capacity, our capacity to supply the market will increase significantly and put an end to the shortages that had been affecting us intermittently,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Varela said that Galp had invested US$12 million in the new facility, providing the unit with a new system to fill 1,200 11-kilogramme gas bottles an hour and a new 45-kilogramme bottle filling unit with a capacity for 20 bottles per hour.<\/p>\n

The infrastructure also includes a pipe linking it to the Matola terminal, which opened a year ago, and a new filling line for tanker trucks.<\/p>\n

The chairman of Galp Mozambique noted that the country was also a platform for expansion and consolidation of the presence of the Portuguese oil company in Southern Africa, where the company\u2019s business had been increasingly strong.<\/p>\n

With the launch of the new Galp project, he said that Mozambique increased bottled gas production from 27,000 to 33,754 bottles, a rise of 25%, or just over a million bottles a month.<\/p>\n
