Diesel crunch set to worsen as refining capacity falls short, industry warns
Insufficient refining capacity can tighten diesel supply and worsen shortages.

How it reaches your house.
Starting from Marine Diesel and Bunker Fuel, we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Gasoline and diesel →Shortage riskBunker fuel (marine fuel oil)
Refiners prioritizing diesel directly squeezes shipping fuel oil availability, creating a bunker-fuel shortage.
“Supply of fuel oil for the shipping industry is getting squeezed by the war-driven tightness in diesel fuel, as refiners prioritize the latter over the former.”
95% confidenceCited →Crude Oil Feedstock →Shortage riskCrude oil feedstock is a critical input to gasoline and diesel, so a production halt would directly constrain downstream fuel output.

Seafood and fish →Prices easeFish Meal and Fish Oil (Aquaculture Feed)
If fuel-driven seafood output falls, aquaculture feed demand should soften; this is the highest-strength input link, though the effect is only partial because not all seafood is farmed.

Fish Meal and Fish Oil (Aquaculture Feed) →Shortage riskFish meal and fish oil are critical aquaculture feed inputs, so a shortage here directly constrains seafood and fish output.
