The Sol Banfield Service Station, in Kingstown will be temporarily closed from today January 8, 2018 to undergo significant structural renovation.
The service station is expected to reopen mid-April 2018 when it will continue to serve high quality Sol Go Further Fuels to customers, while the sale of Kerosene will be discontinued at this site.
General Manager of SOL EC Limited, Steve Francis stated in December that “while we are very excited about the improvements which will be made to the service station, it is imperative to inform the public of the termination of supply of kerosene so that they can plan for the future.”
Kerosene has been supplied in St. Vincent by Sol for over ten years, when Sol imported Dual Purpose Kerosene to be used as both jet fuel, which was sold at the E.T. Joshua Airport and domestic kerosene sold from the Banfield Service Station.
The supply contract for Jet Fuel at the newly built Argyle International Airport was awarded to a different supplier, thus impacting Sol’s ability to sustainably import the product.
