Germany’s Schwedt Refinery to Receive Oil Via Poland End-Jan

OIL

-Jan

Germany has received confirmation that commercial crude oil deliveries for the PCK Schwedt refinery are expected in the Polish port of Gdansk in January, the economy ministry told Reuters.

  • A tanker, carrying 100,000 tonnes of oil, will be delivered via Gdansk and further via the Polish pipeline system to Schwedt end-January, sources told Reuters.
  • Bigger volumes are planned to be shipped via Gdansk as of February, the source added.
  • The delivery follows months of talks between Berlin and Warsaw to secure supply for Schwedt.
  • Higher capacity utilization and diesel yields from Schwedt are in focus in Poland and Germany, as Europe gets ready for a ban on Russian diesel that comes into force on 5 Feb, tightening supplies.
  • From the start of January, the Schwedt refinery has been working at 50% of capacity as supplies from Russia have been eliminated. Germany said in December that Poland committed to provide enough crude for it to run at 70% capacity from January.
