:eek:

after coal, gas now diesel too...



Gas stations ration petrol in China diesel shortage​


https://www.bbc.com/news/business-59059093
Petrol stations in many parts of China have begun rationing diesel amid rising costs and falling supplies.

Some truck drivers are having to wait entire days to refuel, according to posts on social media site Weibo.

China is currently in the midst of a massive power crunch, as coal and natural gas shortages have closed factories and left homes without power.

And this latest issue is only likely to contribute to an ongoing global supply chain crisis, say analysts.

"The current diesel shortages seem to be affecting long distance transportation businesses which could include goods meant for markets outside of China," said Mattie Bekink, China Director at the Economist Intelligence Unit

"Depending on the duration and intensity of this crunch, we could well see this contribute to the global supply chain challenges."

The global supply chain crisis has been largely driven by the Covid-19 pandemic, with demand surging as economies re-open.

In China, trucks are only being allowed to fill up 100 litres each - about 10% of their capacity, a truck dealer from Shijiazhuang city in Hebei province told Chinese business news service Caixin.

In other parts of the country, reports suggest rations are even tighter with drivers only allowed to buy up to 25 litres.

Meanwhile, in the city of Fuyang, about a seven hour drive south of the key transportation hub of Shijiazhuang, Caixin reports petrol stations are limiting purchases or charging drivers surcharges of up to 300 yuan ($47, £34) to fill up their tanks.

"After going to a few [petrol] stations, there is no more diesel, and prices will continue to rise, and large trucks running logistics will not be able to refuel," one Weibo user wrote.

Another also bemoaned the impact on inflation and deliveries.

中国各地柴油紧缺现抢购潮 学者:首先确保海军舰船柴油充足

中国出现柴油紧缺现象,各加油站出现抢购浪潮。大型货车因缺油而无法行驶,造成货品积压。学者认为,柴油是中国海军和远洋货轮的动力,政府首先要满足战略用油储备,同时要满足出口集装箱货轮用油需要。

继电荒之后,最近一段时期,中国出现“柴油荒”。中国财新网报道,全国性柴油供应出现缺口,主要由于前期一些隐形资源退出,同时很多炼油厂减少了炼油的比例,再加上9月份全国多地限电等因素造成柴油紧缺,多地加油站限量加油,而这一紧缺现象或还将持续几个月。报道引述河北石家庄的卡车销售人士称:“现在油价涨得柴油车加不上油了。”还称,当地加油站给卡车限加柴油100升,而整车加满需要1000升左右。安徽阜阳一卡车司机说,“油价特别高,阜阳加油站普遍都不给加油。”,要么只给加100-300元(对应几十升柴油)。

中国各地的“柴油荒”已持续一段时期,上周六达到顶峰,许多使用柴油的车辆被迫停运。网民提供的一段小视频显示,许多人拎着绿色铁桶排队购买柴油:

“拎着桶,哎呀妈呀,加一次油排队排了3个小时,还没有加上油,70升油500元,拎这么大个桶。”

各地柴油荒影响货车停运商品积压

居民张海接受本台采访时说,柴油供应紧张,对日常生活及运输的影响非常大:

“柴油主要用于大型车辆、舰船,很多汽车也改用柴油,柴油的用途比汽油更广泛。这个时候柴油紧缺,对我们的生活影响肯定是巨大的。特别是到了冬季,很多大型物资无法运输。”

微博网民“烟尘弄舞”发帖称,其经营的运输公司,在外省运输途中加油困难重重,很多加油站限量购买200元柴油,他说,200元的柴油一起步,一脚踩刹车就没有了。他还写道,公司开会决定暂停部分车辆运输......由于车辆被迫停运,工厂的货物、当地的土特产等无法运出。

It's a self fulfilling catch-22.
These long distance trucks only allowed to fill 10% of the usually tank capacity.
Every petrol station they have to queue to pump diesel.

The problem is these truckers are self employed. They bid for delivery jobs. They bid for jobs to deliver fruits, veggies, goods from the factory, to deliver to next towns.

So these trucker are now no interested to bid for longer distance delivery as the 100liters fuel don't allow them to travel far distances.

The joke is diesel delivery truckers also not willing to bid to deliver the diesels to other towns, especially in 新疆.

No trucker willing to deliver diesel, because their trucks cannot travel far to deliver the diesel to far away towns.


Closer to home.

This is going to cause a lot of delays in the Lazada/shopee 11.11 deliveries in China and to all over the world as well.

This is a messed up world.
Food, goods, going to be delayed and causein demand to push up the prices!!!!

Actually China can fix that problem one. Just release their military reserves.

The diesel requirements to move a 60 to 70 ton tank is a lot more than your standard 3 ton or 5 ton trucks due to engine n mass. And like every good Commie state, they would have enough to supply their armed forces for over a year.

Even releasing half to keep basic things like delivery interstate trucks running will help things alot. Cos who is going to invade China anyway?

Cutting down the amount of planes or ship disturbing Taiwan can also save more fuel.
