Brazil Targets Discounted Russian Diesel Barrels Feb - More Due March

OIL PRODUCTS

Russian ultra-low-sulphur diesel (ULSD) shipments to Brazil reached a record high in February – as Russia attempts to find new longer term markets for its sanctioned barrels post Feb EU 5 ban.

  • Brazil typically pulls in its diesel imports from the nearby US Gulf, while flows from Russia have been a rarity in the past.
  • Vortexa vessel tracking data has seen 1.6MMbbl of ULSD imported since Oct 22 with a higher volume of cargoes currently in transit, totalling another 2MMbbl to arrive in the next month.
  • See red line for increasing percentage of Russian volumes making their way into Brazilian imports.
