The share of diesel imports through the ports of southern Ukraine decreased to 33%

In August, the share of diesel fuel imports through the ports of southern Ukraine decreased to 33% compared to 50% a year earlier.

This was reported by the A-95 Consulting Group, Enkorr writes.

According to the director of A-95, Serhiy Kuyun, military risks have increased on this route, and with them freight rates and costs for secondary logistics. At the same time, fuel quotes in Northwestern Europe have become lower than those in the Mediterranean.

Against this background, the share of supplies through the western border has increased to 67% compared to 50% in August last year.

Supplies from Romania have decreased by 28% – to 121 thousand tons, from Greece – by 58%, to 49 thousand tons, from Turkey – by 49%, to 18 thousand tons.

In parallel, supplies through Poland are increasing. In particular, in June, OKKO Group launched a stable import channel through the terminal in Gdynia under an agreement with the Polish state-owned company PERN.

In total, Ukraine imported 588 thousand tons of diesel fuel in August, which is 10% less than last year. In January-August, imports amounted to 4.2 million tons, which is 7% more year-on-year.
