Fuel: Saras steps in to help stabilise prices in Sardinia
Discount until 31 October on the cost of fuel delivered to the island from the Sarroch refinery
A solidarity measure to cap fuel prices in Sardinia. The announcement comes from Saras, the group that manages the refinery in Sarroch, a key hub for the supply of fuel for both air and sea transport, as well as for the island’s entire manufacturing and logistics sector.
“Against the current backdrop of volatility and uncertainty in the international energy markets, Saras – as stated in a press release from the company, which passed from the Moratti family to Vitol Group – announces a solidarity initiative in support of Sardinian citizens and businesses, aimed at mitigating the impact of high petroleum product costs. The initiative concerns the cost of fuels supplied to the island from the Sarroch refinery and intended for road transport, agriculture and fishing. It will enable independent service stations to offer the public the best terms applied by the major market operators, and for our long-standing partners to offer a discount on fuel intended for operators in the heavy road haulage, agricultural and fishing sectors. The discount will take effect immediately and will remain in force until 31 October’.
“With this initiative,” the statement continues, “Saras reaffirms its concrete commitment to supporting consumers and sectors that are strategic for island mobility, the smooth running of logistics chains, food safety and the quality of the produce that represents Sardinia’s excellence both nationally and internationally.”
