Foster Yeoman鈥檚 offer of assistance with shipping petrol supplies from Port Appin to Lismore is strictly short term, to allow a longer-term solution to be found. The company has agreed to provide the service until the end of the month. A&BC had a meeting arranged with Foster Yeoman on the 14 March at which they will establish the scope for extending the arrangement for carrying petrol to Lismore, in the absence of a longer-term arrangement being put in place before the end of March.
Since the public meeting called by the Community Council on 22 February, the Community Council had written to the Chief Executive, A&BC, to ask the council to take the initiative in finding a sustainable solution to the supply of petrol to the island.
Mr. Brown (A&BC) had discussed with the MCA the scope for permitting the resumption of petrol supplies via the Port Appin ferry in the short term, but was advised that the vessel was fundamentally unsuitable and that the nature of adaptations which would make it suitable would be extensive to say the least and would not allow a solution within a short time span.
