OIL PRODUCTS
Russia has increased diesel exports to Mediterranean and African ports in January ahead of the EU’s embargo on Russian oil products on 5 Feb, data from sources and Refinitiv show.
- Diesel supplies from Russian ports to Turkey totalled around 0.68mn tonnes on 1-25 Jan, against 0.73mn tonnes in whole December, Refinitiv data showed.
- Russia could supply at least 370,000 tonnes of diesel from its Baltic ports to Morocco this month according to Refinitiv.
- Russian diesel and gasoil exports to Senegal have risen up to 140,000 tonnes so far this month versus 35,000 tonnes in the previous month.
- Russia plans to divert its supplies to Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and would rather cut oil production than agree to a price cap, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said in December.
