The export of Russian diesel fuel is increasing: the main directions of supply.
The maritime export of Russian diesel and gas oils got off to a strong start: at the beginning of November volumes jumped by 14.5% and reached 410,000 tons. The main flow is usually divided between the ports of the Baltic Sea and the Far East: the main shipping port is Primorsk (193 thousand tons), followed by large shipments from Khodka (67 thousand tons), Taman (37 thousand tons) and Vysotsk (30 thousand tons). According to analysts, in November the total supply to foreign markets may reach 2.7 million.
The situation with the geography of supply looks interesting: the United States has established itself as the main buyer of Russian diesel. Only in the week of November 5, 141 thousand tons went there. Other major destinations include Singapore (87 thousand tons), Morocco (about 74 thousand tons) and Turkey (43 thousand tons).
Although the official ban on exporting petroleum products is in effect until January 2027, restrictions have not been left to everyone: the government has provided quotas and exceptions to individual companies, and supplies themselves were partially resumed after high-level negotiations in October. As a result, the picture changes dramatically - if in October 510 thousand tons were sent to foreign markets, now the November shipments will increase to 2.15 million.
