MBC News | Long line at GS Gasoline shortage due to tanker berthing due to typhoon

Long line at GS Gasoline shortage due to typhoon unable to berth tankers[08/08 18:44]

Due to the typhoon, tankers cannot dock, and gasoline is in short supply.

This is a video taken on National Route 3 in Hiranomachi, Kagoshima City on the night of the 7th. There was a traffic jam with cars trying to enter the gas station.

On the 8th, there were shops with many cars lined up, and shops that were closed by limiting the amount of refueling or putting up “sold out” signs.

This store sold out all the gasoline in the evening of the 6th, and has been temporarily closed since the 7th. Due to the typhoon, the tanker carrying gasoline could not dock at Taniyama Port, and the supply was stopped.

(Tetsuto Nakamura General Manager, Eco Stand) “When the typhoon made a U-turn, I felt uneasy, wondering if everything was okay.

It is said that the store has received more than 30 calls to confirm whether it is open by noon, but there is no prospect of reopening, and the impact is likely to be long-term.

(Eco Stand General Manager Tetsuhito Nakamura) “It’s the time before the Bon Festival, so it’s pretty tough not to be able to open. Everyone is in trouble with their lives, so I hope we can buy gasoline as soon as possible and resume business.”
