Dutch and Swedish dock workers refused to unload a tanker carrying Russian diesel because of "international solidarity" over the Ukraine invasion, a union leader said.

The tanker is currently anchored off the coast of IJmuiden, not far from Amsterdam, according to ship-tracking data from Marine Traffic.
