Venezuela addressing delayed oil shipments to Cuba

Up to earlier this week Venezuela’s state-run oil company PDVSA was preoccupied with preparing a long overdue shipment of a 190,000-barrel cargo of diesel for shipment to Cuba in what, reportedly, was a bid to help its closest political ally in the region stave off fuel shortages that could have serious implications for electricity generation during the first half of this year
Cuba relies on fuel imports to cover the majority of its overall fuel demand and reportedly has not received diesel from Venezuela since last September, causing the country to have to resort to higher prices on the open market.
