Some good news.
Calor were about to withdraw their range of small gas cylinders. They have now told the Boat Safety Scheme that this will be happening over a much longer period, giving boaters more time to make any changes.
They say...
"In January we announced plans to streamline our small cylinder range to help put us in a better position to service our wider cylinder customers who rely on us to provide their home heating and hot water.
In taking this decision we underestimated the impact this would have on specific user groups who use the 3.9kg propane and 4.5kg butane cylinders for caravanning and boating. We have listened to concerns and we are finalising plans to continue to exchange and refill serviceable* cylinders of these sizes, phasing them out of supply over a longer time frame. This should give users additional time to source an alternative way to power their onboard facilities.
We are working out the full details of this process and will communicate this as soon as we can."
