The last of the first three tankers carrying Russian diesel to the US has abruptly changed course. The vessel is currently awaiting instructions on a new destination.
According to Bloomberg, the tanker Agioi Fanendes, which was flagged by Malta and loaded with 40,000 tons of diesel fuel in the Russian Baltic port of Primorsk, was in question.
The vessel was initially headed for New York and was due to arrive there on November 7, but later slowed down and began to move away from the US east coast.
Since November 9, the tanker has been moving in an unknown direction.
Eastern Mediterranean Maritime Ltd., which operates the tanker, said the vessel had changed its destination from New York to a signal of “waiting for instructions” because the final destination has not yet been confirmed.
USM previously reported that tankers carrying Russian diesel to the US are changing their declared routes one by one.
