A pipeline feeding oil products from the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp refinery hub into Germany was closed this week after a leak was reported in the Netherlands, according to reports.
The Rotterdam-Rijn Pijpleiding (RRP) distillates pipeline, which is partly owned by Shell and BP, is expected to be closed for at least a day as the company investigates the leak and makes
necessary repairs.
The pipeline has a capacity of 2,000 cubic metres per hour.
Oil traders say when it runs at full capacity it can meet demand for bringing fuel into Germany.
