Pompă sub presiune. Europa aduce motorină de la 19.000 km, din Coreea de Sud, de frica penuriei • Newsweek România

Europe is importing diesel from South Korea, covering over 19,000 km, due to refining capacity issues and geopolitical tensions. A giant tanker is set to deliver critical diesel to major ports in Northwestern Europe, highlighting the continent's energy vulnerability ahead of winter. The significant price difference between diesel in Europe and Asia has made this unusual maritime route financially viable. The ongoing war in Ukraine and Middle Eastern conflicts have exacerbated supply chain disruptions, prompting Europe to secure fuel supplies. Asian refineries continue to produce diesel without major issues, and China is expected to increase fuel exports soon.
