Why is it that this whole industry acts as if Calor is the customer and we’re the product? YM have an article basically explaining why poor old Calor can’t cope.
Why is there a Calor Gas shortage? - Yachting Monthly
My marina yesterday didn’t have cylinders (same answer for going on two years!) and for some reason after saying they didn’t have any and hadn’t for some time then changed tune when I asked if they’d mind adding a FloGas cage and said they do get 4.5kg cylinders delivered. She even went as far as to suggest boaters aren’t using gas anymore and instead use electric, so presumably this marina is designed for live aboards.
Apparently I’m just unlucky. For two years. Plus a year at the old marina. Didn’t even really acknowledge the possibility of adding a reputable supplier so their customers could actually go cruising.
Is it me, or should marinas be able to supply gas as a basic part of the contract? No gas means very stressful cruising. Despite the article promising things will be better in 2023 I’ll probably still switch to FloGas who appear to have been supplying gas throughout.
