LISBON - Fuel-tanker drivers raised the specter of empty filling stations and aviation fuel shortages during Portugal’s busy tourist season on Tuesday, saying they would comply with a government order to go back to work but would not do extra time.
The government ordered drivers back to work late on Monday after supplies ran down at some locations including Lisbon airport. Early on Tuesday, nearly a third of Portugal’s filling stations remained either completely out of fuel or were partially dry, according to a website monitoring the strike.Authorities said only 25 out of a scheduled 119 cargoes of fuel arrived at Lisbon airport during Monday, although they did not specify how many of those were for aviation fuel.
