OIL PRODUCTS

Austria’s OMV halted wholesale diesel supply from its main storage facility in Munich as of early Wednesday, affecting supplies to several sites according to two people familiar with the matter.

  • The halt is affecting supplies from OMV’s Feldkirchen site near the Bavarian city and its Burghausen refinery, sources said.
  • There is no further information on the length or the reason of the stoppage.
  • Disruption to diesel supply to inland Germany is closely watched at this time of year, because those areas rely on deliveries via the Rhine from Rotterdam.
  • Late-June, Germany’s Vohburg refinery stopped making wholesale deliveries of diesel, after a halt to wholesale deliveries of heating oil a week prior.
  • Water levels in parts of the Rhine River have plunged in recent weeks. Barges going to Upper Rhine now having to sail only half full according to Interstream Barging.
