Pressure Mounts on Europe Diesel Supply as Tankers Turn Away

Tankers that were carrying diesel toward Europe have changed course at sea, as the Iran war boosts prices and intensifies competition for supplies.

Four tankers — the Aliai, Minerva Vaso, Grand Ace6 and Elka Delphi — recently loaded diesel-type fuel in the US and started to cross the Atlantic, according to Vortexa and ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg News. The Aliai was signaling Gibraltar, while the other three were showing Amsterdam.
