In February, sea exports of petroleum products from Russia fell

Exports of marine petroleum products from Russia fell by 1.5% in February compared to the previous month.

The indicators were affected by unplanned repairs of oil refineries (refineries), writes Reuters.

For example, several large Russian refineries suffered from drone attacks and fires in January and February, including the Rosneft refinery in Tuapse and the Novatek complex in the Baltic port of Ust-Luga.

According to market sources, the total export of petroleum products through the Baltic ports of Primorsk, Vysotsk, St. Petersburg and Ust-Luga last month increased by 11.4% compared to January, to 5.886 million tons.

Export supplies of oil products from the Russian Arctic ports of Murmansk and Arkhangelsk fell last month by 34% compared to January, to 113.9 thousand tons.

Also, in February, Russian fuel exports through the ports of the Black and Azov seas fell by 18.8% compared to the previous month, to 3.265 million tons. In particular, due to the lack of supplies of petroleum products from the Tuapsin refinery and stormy weather in the region.

As previously reported by USM, Ukraine paralyzed 12% of Russia’s oil refining capacity in just the last few days.
