Marsden Point closure: New Dome Valley tar seal ‘scraping off’, Christmas jet fuel shortages

The folks at Dig In At Marsden warned us and the chickens are coming home to roost following the closure of the Marsden Point Oil Refinery.

A newly tar sealed stretch of highway at Dome Valley north of Auckland has caused major traffic problems as the substandard bitumen is peeling off. Drivers along the sretch of road were stunned to find the material lifting, leaving massive potholes, and clogging up their tyres. Clumps of tar seal litter the highway causing more

Police have received more than 50 calls from irate drivers complaining about the damage to their cars. Work on the road was only recently completed, and remedial works are planned for three nights, 11-13 December with a huge detour around SH16 put in place.

Jet Fuel shortage in time for Christmas

Meanwhile, the Maritime Union has told state-funded legacy media outlet Newshub that a ‘bad batch’ of aviation fuel has forced airlines into rationing on the eve of the holiday season. According to the report an off-specification load of around 25 million litres of jet fuel had to be returned overseas for refining after the closure of Marsden point.

The closure of the country’s only refinery was already hurting the economy, a report in state-funded Newsroom said.

    Ardern following the script of the NWO Karl Swabs school of young global leaders has left NZ totally open and susceptible to the coming shortage of tankers
    Crashing by design

    • There will be a lot of angry nz’ders blaming Ardern but Channel Infrastructure is Channel Islands based-how was this allowed to happen??

      • Remember when us ‘conspiracy theorist’ warned 5 years ago that NZ was being sold down the road by Ardern’s Labour Govt. ? Some whistle blowers even left Parliment and left the country for their own safety. It is still happening today it will only stop when we the people rise up and stop it.
