Efforts to ease the availability of fuel for Bahrain’s fishermen have begun to bear fruit, with five new fuel stations opened at fishing ports across the kingdom.
The initiative comes in response to growing outcry from the fishing community over severe shortages and logistical hurdles in securing fuel.
Calls for action were led by MP Khalid Bu Onk, spokesman of Parliament’s Strategic Thinking Bloc, who hails from a prominent family of fishermen.
Mr Bu Onk confirmed that the new stations have been launched in co-ordination with the Oil and Gas Ministry and Bapco Energies, following prolonged negotiations.
