No more petrol: the problem at Globus gas stations in Saarlouis and Neunkirchen
;)
Recently, the Globus gas station on Gottlieb-Daimler-Strae in Zweibrücken, which can be seen in the photo, was out for a long time. But there are also bottlenecks in the Saarland.

Specific Saarlouis/Neukirchen In Saarluis and Neunkirchen, filling at Globus filling stations was sometimes not possible because the fuel ran out. How could this happen.
At Globus gas stations in Saarlouis and Neunkirchen, drivers have not been able to fill their cars in the past few days or only at certain pumps. Nils Behrens, head of the refueling and washing department at Globus Markthalen Holding, confirmed this when asked by Saarbrücker Zeitung. Recently there was also one in Zweibrücken Globus gas station closure,
According to Behrens, there were “short-term vacancies” at both Saarland locations. He cites supply chain delays due to less water in the Rhine as the reason. This was already the case in 2018.
Tank tourists from France visit Globus gas stations
According to Behrens, the proximity of France and Luxembourg also plays a role. Because near the border, “tank tourism may have changed for the first time in many years”. This leads to an increase in volume at Globus petrol stations, so that in combination with delivery difficulties, bottlenecks can quickly arise.
Behrens does not rule out the possibility that the ban on vacancies or fewer petrol pumps will be repeated. “There may be temporary vacancies at different locations at all times.”
