Ships bring extra oil amid strike
Written: 28th April, 2008
Extra fuel supplies have started arriving in Scotland, to make up for possible shortages caused by the Grangemouth strike.
Hundreds of staff at Scotland's only oil refinery are beginning the second day of a two-day strike over pensions.
Two out of seven fuel tankers heading to Grangemouth with extra fuel have already arrived in the Forth.
There had been fears of fuel shortages, but only a handful of filling stations are reported to have run out.
The Scottish Government said that by midday on Saturday, only five of Scotland's 956 filling stations were out of fuel, with 70 partly out of fuel.
However, it warned that there could be problems at the beginning of the week as they waited to be replenished.
