LAUGFS Gas says a vessel carrying more than 3,000 metric tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas has arrived in Sri Lanka and that cylinder deliveries will restart in stages after the recent supply disruption. Published reporting carried the company's announcement on November 12. The shipment's arrival does not mean every dealer already has refills available.

The company described a sequence of unloading the cargo, filling cylinders and moving supplies through its authorised distributor and dealer network. It expects availability to improve progressively as deliveries reach outlets. The reports do not give a guaranteed refill time for a particular town, shop or household.

Customers were advised to check stock with their nearest authorised LAUGFS dealer before travelling to an outlet. The company's reported information hotline is 1345. That is the contact number stated in the announcement, not a promise that stock will be reserved or that an order has been placed.

LAUGFS acknowledged the difficulty customers had faced in obtaining refills and thanked them for their patience. This is a supply update. It does not establish the outcome of separate court proceedings concerning earlier gas-distribution complaints, nor does it announce a cylinder-price change.
