The export of Russian oil through the port of Tuapse has been completely disrupted


As a result of the fire at the oil refinery in the port of Tuapse, the enterprise completely stopped the processing of raw materials.

Russian exports of petroleum products from the Black Sea port of Tuapse will decrease by 59.1% in February. It is written by Reuters.

Thus, export volumes fell to 0.42 million metric tons, compared to 1.09 million tons planned for January. Sources in the market reported that there are currently no oil products from the Tuapse Refinery in the loading schedule for February.

We will remind, on the evening of January 24, a large-scale fire broke out at the oil refinery in the port of Tuapse. A vacuum unit was on fire on the site. It should be noted that the Tuapse Refinery was able to process 240,000 barrels per day. It is also the only Russian refinery on the Black Sea coast.
