Monday November 14, 2022
Workers at the BP refinery in Rotterdam have begun work-to-rule industrial action from November 14.
Working-to-rule action represents an escalation of their wage dispute with the company, Reuters reports citing a trades union source.
Whether or not the action will affect market dynamics remains to be seen although the refinery is an important supplier of diesel to northern Europe.
Bunker sources contacted by Ship & Bunker on Monday could see no impact.
