Workers in Liverpool refuse to unload Russian oil from German-flagged ship at British refinery
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-merseyside-60631735Workers are refusing to unload Russian oil from a German-flagged ship which is moored at a major British oil refinery.
The Seacod vessel is at a terminal on the River Mersey, from where oil is usually pumped to Stanlow Oil Refinery.
The UK government has banned ships with "any Russian connection" from entering its ports due to the country's invasion of Ukraine.
However, the Unite union said cargo was not included in the ban and has called for ministers "to close this loophole".
