Due to internal circumstances in Russia, fuel supply and reserves in Mongolia, which imports petroleum products from Russia, have faced challenges in recent days. However, thanks to the joint efforts of relevant government agencies and businesses in the fuel sector, the situation is gradually being resolved.
To address this issue, government authorities have collaborated with major fuel companies to increase fuel imports from China. As a result of these rapid measures, positive outcomes have been achieved in a short period. For instance, among the first batch of 150 wagons supplied from the Hohhot oil refinery in China, on September 26, the following shipments arrived at Zamyn-Uud station: 38 wagons ordered by Lex Oil, 12 wagons ordered by Shunkhlai.
Efforts are underway to quickly transfer and load this fuel into supply tank wagons through the liquid fuel transfer facility in Zamyn-Uud. In this process, in addition to 28 tank wagons owned by Ulaanbaatar Railway, Lex Oil is utilizing over 70 of its own wagons, transporting the fuel with its own investment and gradually dispatching it to Ulaanbaatar.
Authorities and businesses are working on-site to quickly unload the first batch of fuel-carrying tank wagons and distribute the fuel evenly to enterprises before sending it to the capital.
Lex Oil’s Role in Stabilizing Fuel Supply
Lex Oil is taking the following measures to facilitate faster unloading of Chinese fuel shipments, stabilize fuel distribution, and support fuel retailers in maintaining their reserves:
- Constructing a 24,000 m³ petroleum storage facility at Zamyn-Uud station.
- Developing both narrow and broad-gauge railway infrastructure to improve fuel logistics.
- Organizing domestic transportation efficiently and ensuring faster cargo turnover by providing over 100 tank wagons for transportation.
Through these efforts, Lex Oil is playing a crucial role in maintaining a stable fuel supply and supporting fuel distribution businesses.
