As a result of the fire at the oil refinery in the port of Tuapse, the enterprise completely stopped the processing of raw materials.
Russian exports of petroleum products from the Black Sea port of Tuapse will decrease by 59.1% in February. It is written by Reuters.
Thus, export volumes fell to 0.42 million metric tons, compared to 1.09 million tons planned for January. Sources in the market reported that there are currently no oil products from the Tuapse Refinery in the loading schedule for February.
