The Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) has requested the oil industry to ensure fuel consumers are sold the right products under the correct branding at all retail service stations.
A media statement by MME on Monday said the selling of ultra-low sulphur diesel 10ppm under the branding of diesel 50ppm needs to be corrected.
It also said oil importers that are importing and marketing both diesel 10ppm and 50ppm must make all the necessary arrangements to ensure that there are two diesel pumps at such retail service stations so that oil consumers can select the type of diesel product for their vehicles.
These changes came into effect on 01 April, after recent-trade flows of petroleum products from the international oil market to Namibia showed that two diesel types are landing in Namibia, namely gas-oil diesel 50ppm and ultra-low sulphur diesel 10ppm.
