Marseilles port strike continues

Marseilles port strike continues    Strike action at two oil terminals at the Port of Marseilles in the South of France will go on for at least another 24 hours as strikers voted to continue the industrial action started on March 14.
   This morning 28 tankers, 17 chemical carriers and six gas carriers are awaiting entry to the two terminals.
   The CGT union called the strike in response to plans by Gaz de France to use its own dedicated workforce at the LNG terminal.
   The Marseilles-Fos-Lavera hub is France’s largest bunker center in terms of volumes delivered. Annual bunker volumes are estimated to be around 1.4 million metric tons.
