More than 160 offshore workers at oil firm Apache are set to strike for 24 hours from 6am on Wednesday in a pay row. Unite says the walkout across seven Forties and Beryl platforms could halt the Forties pipeline, which carries about 29% of UK oil, and severely disrupt fuel supplies. Apache says its 4% offer is fair and contingency plans should keep oil flowing.
