UK oil workers votes to strike at Brent crude loading terminal

摘要

London—Workers at the UK’s Sullom Voe oil terminal, loading point for the Brent and Clair crude blends, have voted to go on strike in a long- running dispute with the operator, EnQuest, over employment terms and conditions, the Unite trade union said Monday. The announcement did not give likely strike dates. The remote facility in the UK’s far northern Shetland Islands is used to load about a tenth of the UK’s oil production, including the Brent crude produced in the North Sea and Clair crude from the West of Shetland area, a heavier blend.
