Dockworkers at a port in north-west England have refused to discharge Russian oil products from a German-owned MR tanker.
The German-flagged 40,600-dwt Seacod (built 2006) was moored near the Stanlow oil refinery in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, but moved away on Sunday, heading north, reported UK newspaper The Guardian
On Friday the Unite union said it had informed Stanlow’s owner, India’s Essar Group, that its members would “under no circumstances unload any Russian oil regardless of the nationality of the vessel which delivers it”.
