Activity: Gas distribution
Tropigas is the principal seller of propane gas with
53% of the market share. Following its growing
policy, Tropigas is analyzing necessary conditions to
expand the terminal it has in La Union. The objective
is to duplicate storage capacity from the spheres
it currently has. This investment would require an
investment of USD$4 -14 million. Currently, the
spheres of La Union terminal can store 3.5 million
gallons of GLP and with the expansion it would reach
to 7 million gallons.
Tropigas imported 2.5 million gallons at a cost of
USD$3 million. The product arrived on a Panamanian
flag vessel Gaz Baraka that has a capability of 111
million gallons. It is the largest capacity gas ship that
has docked in the country.
