Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Bolivianos (YPFB) has reactivated a strategic route for fuel imports via rail transport, with over one million liters of gasoline entering Bolivia. This marks the first operation of its kind in more than three years.
According to the state oil company's report, the fuel arrived in the country via 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.
YPFB Executive President, Sebastián Daroca, highlighted that the reactivation of this transport modality will improve logistical efficiency and increase the capacity for fuel entry into the country.
"This Monday, we began operations with over one million liters of gasoline transported by rail, a more efficient alternative that strengthens our logistical capacity and contributes to supplying the domestic market," Daroca stated.
The YPFB executive head 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 modalities, which will contribute to strengthening national supply.
Among the main benefits of this operation are the optimization of logistical costs; increased capacity for fuel transport; 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 a continuous supply of fuels and consolidate a more efficient and resilient logistical system, benefiting the Bolivian population, the state company pointed out.
