Evaluation of Possible Models for Medium-Range Tanker Supply of Petrol Products to Tonga

Evaluation of Possible Models for Medium-Range Tanker Supply of Petrol Products to Tonga. Report to the Government of Tonga, June 2015.

The Government of Tonga is considering possible ways to enable the supply of petroleum by medium-range (MR) tankers. The primary objective of using MR tankers is to bring down the price of petroleum products in Tonga by reducing shipping and freight costs. The Government of Tonga has engaged Chapman Tripp (together with Castalia, Hale & Twomey, and Anthony Harper) to independently assess the possible models for MR supply and recommend a way forward to Cabinet.
