Why is a Bulk Tanker going to Rotherham?  never seen a bulk going this way before and a tried and tested route with the Exol Pride.

I'd love to see 'Just Stop Oil' try to sit down in front of the tanker to block it's journey, will they try and glue themselves to the water. 🤣

That's not an answer to my question.

It is neither!  Partly because I  don't know and partly because if I did know  I would respect confidentiality until a public announcement were made  My point was that there is no reason why establishing an aggregate depot in south Yorkshire would have any bearing on whether a similar depot would or would not be established in Leeds - other than potential barge operators the parties concerned may not be the same and the markets are completely different.  What I can say is that the various parties  (and there are several players involved) are keen to see Stourton/Port Leeds happen and are in discussion right now.

Thanks David helpful reply as ever.
