The Maritime Union of New Zealand welcomes the gov't investigation into Marsden Point Refinery's reopening, announced by Assoc. Energy Minister Shane Jones. The Union supports the decarbonization of the transport sector, but emphasizes the importance of fuel security in the meantime. They opposed the refinery's closure as it weakened resilience and fuel security, and also highlighted the loss of two New Zealand-flagged oil tankers due to direct imports from foreign refineries.
