Risks of sanctions: Tankers with Russian diesel fuel turned around halfway to the US Two tankers carrying Russian diesel fuel, on their way to the United States, suddenly changed course. According to the Financial Times, the Talisman and Rowe ships have abandoned the American route and are now heading to other areas. Talisman has passed the Strait of Gibraltar and is off the coast of Algeria, awaiting further orders. Leroux changed the destination to Brazil. The third tanker is still traveling towards the United States and should arrive in New York on November 7, but it is also awaiting approval of the unloading port. Another tanker, Chaya, launched in Primorsk on October 27, is still pointing towards the Atlantic Ocean. Kepler analyst Matt Smith attributes the change in routes to the caution of American buyers who fear legal ramifications and sanctions risks. He did not rule out that Agiou Panandez might also refuse to enter the United States. The situation indicates that even in the absence of formal bans, companies prefer to play it safe.
