Delta’s Sylvester Clears Record Bevis Sylvester, Delta Petroleum’s Regional General Manager, has object - ed to an article published in The Observer Oct. 7 regarding Delta’s rela - tionship to Nevis Electricity Co. (NEVLEC), calling it libellous and misleading. While this newspaper always does its best to adhere to the highest journalis - tic standards and publish the truth, we do apologize for any libellous or mis - leading statements made in that story and are happy to publish the correc - tions requested by Mr. Sylvester. Following are his stated reasons for his complaint: According to Sylvester, “At no time did Delta breach its contractual obliga - tions with NEVLEC and this was so not only because Delta values its busi - ness relationship with NEVLEC but also because to do so would have been a wrongful act which would have exposed Delta to a claim for damages. As far as Mr. Sylvester is aware there was and has never been any allegation by NEVLEC that Delta breached its contract.” In fact we continue to enjoy a good contractual relationship with NEVLEC despite the fact that there might be issues which require resolu - tion from time to time.” Sylvester said. According to Mr. Sylvester NEVLEC’s demand for lubricant increased to such an extent during the months of May and June 2016 that Delta was unable to immediately meet same from its pre - sent supply. Mr. Bevis Sylvester, Regional General Manager for Delta, was contacted by Mrs. Merchant, NEVLEC’s chief accountant, to apprise him of the lubricant shortage and that during the course of the con - versation Mr. Sylvester advised Ms. Merchant that Delta Petroleum would take immediate steps to obtain addi - tional lubricant from its supplier in Trinidad. During the conversation Mrs. Merchant also advised Mr Sylvester that NEVLEC had put temporary mea - sures in place to obtain lubricant from the electricity generating plant in St. Kitts with whom it had a working rela - tionship. Delta subsequently obtained the neces - sary lubricant from Trinidad and was able to address all NEVLEC’S lubri - cant needs in quick time and has since that time continued to supply NEVLEC with lubricant and lubricant products in keeping with terms of the Agreement. The fuel company’s Regional General Manager said that his company cher - ishes relationships in St Kitts and Nevis both of which it has painstaking - ly built up over 30 years.
