A tanker with oil products arrived at the port of Hamburg in early February. From there it is imported by smaller tankers to a terminal in Poland.
At the beginning of February, a batch of diesel fuel produced by the USA arrived in Ukraine. It was ordered by the company “Ukrpaletsistem” (UPG), and the manufacturer of petroleum products is the Marathon Petroleum Company, writes Enkorr.
“A tanker with a deadweight of 100,000 tons was received at the port of Hamburg, from where we pick up the product with smaller tankers of 30,000 tons and take it to our terminal in Poland. This first batch has already started arriving in Ukraine,” UPG said.
The Ukrainian company does not disclose commercial details, but notes that the experience of the first deliveries indicates the prospects of continuing this work.
The supply of the American product became profitable due to the logistical convenience of work and favorable pricing.
It should be noted that this is the first time in history that Ukraine imports oil products from the USA.
