Novorossiysk, CPC Oil Loadings Halted on Storm

OIL

Oil loadings from the CPC terminal on the Black Sea temporarily halted due to a storm alert, the operator said in a statement Monday morning. This was shortly followed by a statement from Transneft that loadings have stopped at the port of Novorossiysk.

  • CPC terminal storages are nearly full resulting at producers accepting crude for the pipeline at reduced rates. Tankers that arrive at the terminal have been diverted to waiting areas.
  • At Novorossiysk loadings may resume on Tuesday if the weather clears temporarily, Transneft said.
  • Hurricane winds and massive flooding have been observed on the Black Sea Coast of Russia and current weather forecasts suggested the storm to last until the end of the month.
