Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Bolivianos (YPFB) reactivated a strategic route for fuel imports via rail transport, with the entry of more than one million liters of gasoline into Bolivia. This is the first operation of this kind in more than three years.
According to the state oil company’s report, the fuel arrived in the country via the waterway to Puerto Aguirre and was subsequently transported by rail to Santa Cruz, as part of a strategy aimed at diversifying logistical supply alternatives, optimizing costs, and strengthening fuel supply security.
The executive president of YPFB, Sebastián Daroca, highlighted that the reactivation of this transport mode will improve logistical efficiency and increase the country’s fuel import capacity.
“This Monday we began operations with more than one million liters of gasoline transported by rail, a more efficient alternative that strengthens our logistical capacity and contributes to the supply of the domestic market,” stated Daroca.
The executive head of YPFB emphasized that the use of rail represents a complementary alternative for transporting large volumes of fuel, with lower logistical costs and more efficient times compared to other modes, which will help strengthen national supply.
Among the main benefits of this operation are the optimization of logistical costs; greater capacity for fuel transport; the diversification of import routes; and the strengthening of energy security through more efficient logistics.
The reactivation of this route is part of the actions implemented by YPFB to guarantee the continuous supply of fuels and consolidate a more efficient and resilient logistical system, for the benefit of the Bolivian population, the state company specified.
