Tanker with Russian diesel did not arrive in the US on schedule

The tanker Agioi Fanendes, which is transporting Russian diesel fuel to the United States under the so-called “diesel deal,” has sharply reduced its speed and has not yet determined a new port of destination.

This is reported by Hromadske.

The ship was supposed to arrive in New York on November 7, but as of November 9, it is in the North Atlantic and moving west at a speed of about 12 km/h.

At the end of October, the tanker’s speed was about 20 km/h. Currently, ship tracking services indicate that the Agioi Fanendes is “awaiting instructions” instead of its destination.

The tanker, flying the Maltese flag, loaded 40,000 tons of diesel fuel in the Russian port of Primorsk.

The Agioi Fanendes was one of the first three tankers to leave Russia for the United States with diesel fuel. The other two ships, the Talisman and the Leruo, have previously changed course and are no longer heading to American ports.

Previously, USM reported that tankers carrying Russian diesel to the US were changing their declared routes one by one.
