DIESEL

Russian diesel exports from key western ports are expected to fall by 11% in March from February amid lower crude processing rates due to drone attacks on refineries.

  • Diesel loadings from the three main Black and Baltic Sea ports are expected to fall to 2.675m tons or 644kb/d in March from 723kb/d in Feb, according to Bloomberg based on industry data.
  • The decline follows Ukrainian drone attacks since early January damaging six key export-focused refineries.
  • Primary crude processing rates averaged about 5.21mb/d in the first two weeks of February, compares with 5.54mb/d for most of December.
  • Baltic port of Primorsk loadings are planned at 1.784m tons in March, Baltic port of Vysotsk at 0.3m tons and the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk at 0.591m tons.
