WILLEMSTAD – Households without propane gas can still exchange their empty cylinders. Curgas indicates that they can guarantee this.
Meanwhile, fuel distributor Curoil announced delivery of cooking gas cylinders continues as usual both on Curaçao and Bonaire. Social media had reported that there would not be enough propane gas left, but according to Curgas that is not correct.
The government-owned company said hoarding the small gas cylinders also sold at local pumps is neither necessary nor permitted.
