West Indies Oil Company (WIOC) Limited is calling on the public to stop panic-buying LPG cylinders, issuing a firm assurance that there is no shortage of gas or cylinders on the island and that there is no need for members of the public to stockpile at this time.
Wioc Urges Public Not
In a press release, WIOC said it had observed a sudden and significant increase in the purchase of LPG cylinders across Antigua and Barbuda, a trend it says has been driven by unnecessary public concern and speculation.
The company moved to address the situation directly, stating that supply levels are sufficient to meet normal consumer demand and that both product and cylinders are readily available.
WIOC also used the release to put to rest circulating speculation about a possible price increase, clarifying that no such discussions have taken place with the Government of Antigua and Barbuda.
The company confirmed it is monitoring the situation closely and taking all necessary steps to ensure the continued reliable supply and distribution of LPG throughout the twin-island nation.
Customers who experience any localised supply or distribution difficulty are encouraged to contact WIOC’s Call Centre at 462-WIOC (462-9462), or by email at
