Huge tanker queues in Venezuela

Delays at a key Venezuelan crude loading port are seeing tankers strung out all the way to the island of Curacao, Reuters reports.

Some 70 tankers were anchored around state-run PDVSA’s ports in Venezuela and the Caribbean as of yesterday evening with the worst delays experienced at the port of Jose.

Broken down equipment at ports is being blamed for the delays.
