The last of three U.S.-bound Russian diesel-carrying vessels off the coast of New York, the Agioi Fanendes Michler changed course about 400 nautical miles (~740 km) from New York, and began to move away from the U.S. coast. The ship has been moving slowly and zigzagging since Monday, marine traffic tracking data showed. The tank left the Russian port of Primorsk in late October with its stated destination, New York. There are about 40,000 tons of diesel fuel on board. The ship was supposed to arrive in the US on November 7, but later instead of the port of destination it began to indicate the status "issuing orders". The management company Eastmed confirmed that the port has not yet been determined. Two additional tankers from the original three also changed last week: Talisman left for the Mediterranean, and Luro changed his stated destination to Brazil. Trump announced an agreement with Putin on the supply of Russian diesel on October 9 after a telephone conversation. At the same time, the US Treasury Department temporarily allowed to operate with Russian fuel, which was previously prohibited by US sanctions. However, in the middle of the month a bill was introduced in the US Congress to block Trump's deal with Putin on a Russian diesel engine.
