Of gasoline in the drop
Wednesday 20 February 2008
For two days, queues of cars from 200 to 300 lie near the seven service stations of the Total group that fuel the fuel island. Patiently, drivers waiting for hours on a hypothetical opening of the pumps.
Explanation: Two of the five trucks that account for the Total Mayotte are down. One is a work in progress towards passing tests, and another crashed on 13 February. Of the three others, a truck is monopolized by EDM (Electricité de Mayotte) to fuel the power station Kaweni. Remain two trucks must get fuel on Petite-Terre, tanks Total found there (remember that Mayotte is composed of two main islands: Petite-Terre, small-25-km2 which houses the airport, and Great Earth-bound in about 15 minutes by barge). A situation which may continue for two weeks. The Mahorais going to start carpooling? This would be good news for the island began to be hampered by traffic jams in Mamoudzou its "capital."
