"There is fuel available across the country so the issue is not fuel supply but the challenge is delivering it safely to our retail sites," the company said in an emailed response to questions.

 

Force majeure refers to a measure that covers the company and its customers should delivery of fuel not occur due to circumstances beyond their control.
