The third tanker with Russian diesel has changed course and is no longer heading to the US, writes Bloomberg referring to vessel tracking data.
The tanker Agioi Fanendes, carrying about 40,000 tons of fuel, left the Russian port of Primorsk in the Baltic Sea in late October and initially listed New York as its destination.
However, yesterday it changed its course unexpectedly - about 740 km from the US coast. The team changed their destination to "Awaiting Orders". It is not known where the ship is headed now. Her port of release has not yet been confirmed.
This is already the third tanker with Russian diesel that changes its route on the way to the USA. On November 5, the FT reported that the two ships that were the first to go to the US as part of the deal between Donald Trump and Putin had changed course and were no longer going to US ports.
