In order to conduct tests and check the quality of the fuel imported to the Maldives without having to send samples abroad, State Trading Organization opened the STO GE Fuel Lab on the first of this month. They have successfully conducted their first test this Thursday.

They are operated by Geo-Chem Middle East, a leading inspection and testing company, and a sample of jet fuel sent by Maldives Airports Company Limited (MACL) was tested.

STO has stated that this lab will ensure that the quality of the fuel imported to the country is promptly and independently tested.

The lab has the capability to test 5 types of tests on petrol, 4 types of tests on diesel, and full recertification of jet fuel.

Geo-Chem Middle East issues the test certificates directly.
