Climate change protesters prevent road access and reveal an underground network of tunnels.
The Just Stop Oil activists said Saturday morning's tunnel activity at Grays and Purfleet meant the main and emergency access roads to the oil terminals were closed.
The activists said Titan Truck Park in Grays contained more than 100 oil tankers which service the three major oil terminals in the area.in the early hours of Friday, to stand against "expanding UK oil and gas production".ExxonMobil UK, one of the country's largest privately-owned underground oil pipeline distribution networks, said it shut down three of its terminals as a result, and police from at least five forces were deployed to tackle the demonstrations.
The Met arrested 14 activists who broke into a facility at Bedfont Road in Staines, Surrey, and West Midlands Police arrested six people at a terminal in Tyburn, Birmingham.
