Marseille jam to take two weeks to clear
The Marseille port says it will take two weeks to unload vessels stranded at its oil terminals following a 17-day strike that ended two days ago. The port has a priority list of vessels that urgently need to be unloaded and the first oil carriers have been dealt with, the port authority said in an e-mailed statement on Monday. The port said 39 vessels are still waiting to be unloaded, including 27 oil carriers, four gas transporters and eight chemical vessels. Six oil carriers arrived on Sunday night. A total of 26 vessels were unloaded last weekend, including 15 oil carriers, the port said.
