Bad Weather Causes Fuel Shortages in Angola

Sunday, March 26, 2017

Bad weather in southern Africa has caused fuel shortages in Angola. The weather off the coast of the African country has prevented fuel vessels from docking at two Angolan ports.

According Sonangol, the weather prevented docking at the Cabinda and Benguela ports, causing shortages at filling stations and power blackouts.

“The constraints on supply, especially in the provinces of Cabinda, Benguela, Cuanza Sul, Lunda Norte and Lunda Sul, stem from the atmospheric conditions that have prevented the rapid and normal movement of trucks and suppliers,” the company said in a statement.
