Iran, which said last year that it had become self-sufficient in the production of gasoline, exported 1,000 metric tons of the fuel to Afghanistan, deputy Oil Minister Alireza Zeighami said.
Iran may export two more shipments to the neighboring country, the state-run Fars news agency reported today citing Zeiqhami. The official also said that Iran was in negotiations with several other countries in the region to sell the fuel. Gasoline is typically shipped in sea-going tankers of 30,000-ton capacity and trade in 1,000- to 2,000-ton barge lots in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp oil-hub.
