Port-au-Prince.– Haiti´s government approached integrated energy firm Chevron to ship discounted Venezuelan oil to Haiti, according to a government official.
Press reports quoted an official saying that Haiti is seeking an agreement with Chevron that will facilitate the shipping of around 14,000 barrels of oil from Venezuela.
Haiti is a participant in the Petrocaribe discounted-fuel initiative of the Venezuelan government but has been unable to receive the fuel due to the lack of transport, according to an official involved in the program.
Haiti has to pay for 60% of each fuel shipment within three months of receiving it and pay for the rest in 25 years time at a nominal 1% interest as per the terms of the Petrocaribe agreement.

Hiring Chevron to ship venezuelan oil? Helloooo, doesn't the haitian goverment know that Chavez and the western oil companies (specially the US ones) can't stand each other? Didn't they know that part of the problems between the dominican government and Shell company came to be due to Chavez wanting the dominican government to cancel the shipping license that it had with Shell and instead to give it to Pedevesa? I seriously doubt that Chavez would react differently this time around, all the more so because he most be still pretty ticked off after his recent electoral failure.
