on Monday began a broad industrial strike hardly cause at least one of the major problems of fuel, i.e. petrol and diesel motoring with.

the Strike will last for three days, it starts on Monday and ends on Wednesday. The employer side has decreased by strike price for up to hundreds of millions of euros.

Read this case in more detail, what kind of impact a strike can have, for example, the manufacture of medicinal products and the export appear.

the Strike affected especially the oil company, Fluid operations, as its oil refineries in Porvoo and Naantali will be driven down to strike for the duration.

Yle interviewed by steward, according to, for example, the Naantali refinery running during the strike with less power and only critical security systems are kept running.

Liquid: we Have prepared by filling in containers

Liquid personnel-, security and procurement director of Hannele Jakosuo-Jansson tell you that be prepared for the strike is the Liquid to make a very tight pace of the last few days.

When the threat today to ensure which the strike has grown, we have sought to take care of customer deliveries in advance so the land, sea and air transport. We are prepared for filling the tanks advance as much as possible, Jakosuo-Jansson.

He estimated that the strike may not appear in the Liquid fuel at the station a good precautionary due. Gas and diesel car which should be enough so to fill up that beginning of the week.

the risk of Fluid will be seen that, when the refinery activities will be launched after the strike. If the start-up phase comes to surprising problems, which due to the exceptional situation would be prolonged, could this cause the fuel distribution disorder difficult by road, sea and air transport and even cut off exports.

the Liquid to tell the potential impact of bull launched (you move to another service) on Wednesday. Finland Fluid operations lakkouhan district has a total of about 2 400 people.

Part of status of fuel delivered in the normal way

the Liquid is not only gasoline and diesel distributor in Finland. Fuels also supply NEOT Group (move to another service). Its fuel deliveries to customers are gas station chains St1, ABC and Shell. These stations are not expected to distribution problems.

we’re prepared for the industrial union on Monday to possibly start varnish and varnish of current knowledge, should have the effect of NEOT’s in the distribution of the status of deliveries, multiplied by the company’s communications Yle via e-mail.

In 2017 NEOT tell me the market share of gasoline be sold by the ABC – and St1-stations through more than 50 percent, diesel around a third.

St1: project we are working normally

Sales and marketing director of Mikko Reinekari St1:east confirm that they have fuel supplies to spin normally also possible during the strike.

We process are operating normally and we have a good ability to serve customers, Reinekari said.

Reinekari point out, however, that the indirect effects could also apply to them, if a competing operator fuel distribution would stop for a long time.

in Practice, this means that although the St1 station fuel should normally, it’s not enough to fill the increased demand, with potential long stop of the Liquid supply position of the supply would cause.

Teboil: we Fill our gas station during the weekend

the Fluid and NEOTin also Teboil imports in Finland oil products and sells and distributes them. Teboil tell the market share of gasoline sales last year of about 15 per cent and diesel by around 27%.

Commercial director Kari-Pekka Manni teboil from tell you that Teboil deliver part of their products the Liquid the refinery of Porvoo, when the varnish also makes it difficult to teboil’s activities. For example, a tank truck deliveries, the rhythm will deviate from the normal.

– service stations seeking to meet now during the weekend, that they would be the tanks as full as possible, Manni says.

Teboil has increased its stocks to own term aaleissa to. Distance of growth from the normal can affect, for example, light fuel oil deliveries to households, which can become delays.
