Oil exports from Russia decreased by 54 percent in one week
Russia from imposing a price limit on oil and transported by tankers Russia A week after the ban on oil, Russia’s oil exports decreased by 1.86 million barrels per day or 54 percent.

One of the reasons for such a sharp decrease is technical work carried out in the main port on the Baltic Sea – the port of Primorsk.
The number of tankers filled here decreased from 8 to 3.
Other reasons
At the Kozmina oil filling port in the Far East’s Nakhodka Bay, only two tankers were filled in a week.
This too news It is reported that the company, which owns at least two large tankers, has recalled its ships from the route.
This is because of this oil Russia The price of oil was higher than the highest limit.
Carrying Russian oil at this price could deprive the shipping company of international insurance.
Bloomberg writes that the transportation of oil from Kozmina will be resumed, because 3 tankers have already been filled, and two tankers have stopped at the bridge.
However, due to the lack of parking spaces in the port, exported volumes may be unstable.
Blommberg’s website itself admits that such information should be treated with caution, as the daily oil flow from planning cargo shipments, weather it may depend on the conditions and even the quality of the signals given by the ships themselves.
