What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Bunker fuel availability is tight at ports in the Mediterranean, including the Gibraltar Strait, where suppliers are delayed by 4 to 16 hours, and in Nordic ports like Gothenburg, where buyers are advised 10-day lead times. In Algeciras, some suppliers are running 24 to 32 hours late on deliveries. For deliveries in Barcelona, suppliers require approximately one week of notice.
