  • French strikers block oil barge flow on Rhine
    Strikers blocked oil product barges on the river Rhine at the French border near Strasbourg on Tuesday to prevent suppliers importing fuel from other countries, trade sources said.

Suppliers have instead opted to import fuels such as diesel from a storage hub in Rotterdam on barges down the river Rhine to keep fuels flowing to petrol stations.
