A tanker with Russian diesel did not arrive in New York.
The tanker Agioi Fanendes with Russian diesel changed course about 800 km from New York. The ship, which was loaded in Primorsk on October 22, left for the Atlantic Ocean on October 29, and on the evening of November 9, it turned around and started moving in the opposite direction.
According to the "Guardian", only six tankers were supposed to deliver about 268 thousand tons of Russian diesel fuel to the United States. The problems also affected other ships: Leroux and Bist changed courses towards Brazil, Talisman turned around in the Atlantic Ocean and is now waiting in the port of Alexandria in Egypt.
The implementation of the diesel deal met with political opposition in the United States. US lawmakers have warned companies of possible civil and criminal liability. The governor of New Jersey has called on port and terminal operators to turn away tankers carrying Russian diesel. In the week ending October 30, US distillate inventories fell below 100 million barrels for the first time in more than 20 years. The average price of diesel fuel at gas stations is close to a record $6.27 per gallon.
