Trade ministry revokes business license of Mekong Petroleum JSC

March 24, 2012 - 06:43 PM

The deputy minister of Industry and Trade just signed a decision to revoke the export and import license of Mekong Petroleum Joint Stock Co.

The company was granted the license in January 2010, and the withdrawal came from the proposal of the company and Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam) for re-adjusting quotas to affiliates.

Earlier, the ministry also withdrew the license of Vietnam National Shipping Lines (Vinalines) due to the fact the corporation had not made any imports in a number of months in late 2011 to 2012.

Currently there are now only 10 petrol importers in the country.
