BP Plc said it has been forced to close some of its U.K. refuelling stations because a shortage of trucks drivers is disrupting deliveries at fueling stations.
The decision is the latest symptom of a worsening supply chain crisis that threatens to derail the country's post-Covid economic recovery. The shortage of delivery drivers has already left supermarkets around the UK unable to fill their shelves. The nation is also suffering from a gas and power supply crunch that s threatening companies out of business and putting people with massive bills in the air.
We are experiencing some fuel supply issues at some of our retail sites in the U.K. and unfortunately have therefore seen a handful of sites temporarily closed due to a shortage of both unleaded and diesel grades, BP said in an emailed statement. This will enable us to work closely with our haulier supplier to ensure any future disruption and to mitigate unnecessary delays for our customers. ITV News was the first to report the move by BP, which has more than 1,200 U.K. service stations and is serving over 7 million customers a week.
The shortage of drivers and other workers hurt the U.K. food industry earlier this year with businesses running low on basics like milk and bread, tens of thousands of extra pigs piling up on farms and retailers warning that there will be some products for Christmas to run out at Christmas.
The country s gas and power crisis has an entirely different set of causes. Low levels of wind power generation, limited gas storage and depleted supplies from Russia have sent prices soaring, putting out of businesses that supplied around 1.5 million households.
In a sign of the complex supply chains that sustain the U.K. economy, the energy crisis has also been hammering the food industry.
The high gas prices last week forced fertilizer maker CF Industries Holding Inc. to close two plants making carbon dioxide as a byproduct. That posed an imminent threat to the food industry, which uses gas to slaughter pigs and chickens, as well as in packaging to increase shelf life and dry ice that freezes items during delivery.
On Tuesday, the U.K. government said it would provide limited financial support to help the company restart its facilities.
