Nghi Son, the country’s second refinery, made the request to export fuels as local traders and consumers have been unable to absorb fuel sales from the plant as it ramps up toward commercial operations in November.
Most local buyers have already procured supplies under long-term contracts, limiting what they can take from the plant.
