Just like well over 90 percent of businesses from Fish Bay to Prospect Reef on Tortola that faced severe interruptions due to the heavy rain falls, Petroleum giant Delta experienced some flooding in their C-Store at Pasea. It resulted in a temporary closure of the entire operations from about 11:00 PM last night August 7, 2017.

Delta Petroleum Pasea back on track

However, due to fast work by staff and other vendors, the store resumed full service from about 3:00 PM, this evening August 8, 2017.

The Pasea flag ship store was the only one affected as operations at its service stations and C-Stores on Virgin Gorda and Pockwood Pond, Tortola, continued without many interruptions.

Delta Petroleum (Caribbean) Ltd Regional General Manager Bevis A. Sylvester told our newsroom that he was thankful to the staff and all others, "who contributed for their hard work in bringing back the operations to normal and appreciated very much the patience and understanding of all Delta's loyal customers".
