Gas pumps are dry Interior

President Ewout Klok of BETA, the association of independent owners of pumps, told NOS: "I have received reports of empty pumps from all over the country. Some sit for days without regular gas. It's very annoying, it costs you a turnover. "

According to Klok, the difficult supply has two causes: continued drought and a structural shortage of drivers.The latter, in particular, worried:" I think that carriers should be careful to recruit more drivers. And drivers are trained faster for the special transportation of fuels. "

Because of the drought, the inland vessels in Rotterdam can be loaded less heavily and the deposits in the country are less well stocked, so more oil tankers have to be en route to supply fuel to the area. It takes longer and with an acute shortage of drivers, this is also becoming an increasingly difficult problem.

A BP spokesperson acknowledges that the problems have been around for several weeks. more fueling in our country during this period, because of the summer holidays.According to the spokesperson, unmanned pumps are now likely to dry.clock closely monitors the situation: "If the pumps structurally, then we have to act.
