Companies have been transporting Russian oil for decades, even against the threat of sanctions.
Three major Greek shipping companies have stopped transporting Russian oil to avoid US sanctions. We are talking about the Greek shippers Minerva Marine, Thenamaris and TMS Tankers. It was reported by Reuters.
“The development of events is a blow to Russia, as it reduces the number of shipping companies that are ready to deliver Russian oil to consumers in Asia, Turkey, the Middle East, Africa and South America,” the note of the media.
All three companies are actively shipping Russian oil and gasoline until September-October of this year. All three companies rejected requests for vessels to load Russian oil in November.
The three Greek companies have supplied oil to Russia for decades and continue to do so even as most other Western companies have stopped operating on these routes to avoid the growing risk of sanctions and limits. of price.
The companies operate more than 100 oil tankers capable of handling almost all oil exports from the Russian European ports of Primorsk, Ust-Luga and Novorossiysk, worth approximately 10 million tons per month or 2.4 million barrels per day.
One of the traders told the media that the “shadow fleet” may not be enough to deliver all of Russia’s oil.
We remind you that Bulgaria has decided that it will prevent Russia from avoiding oil sanctions and will not allow it to earn money to wage war. In particular, it decided to stop importing crude oil from Russia in March 2024 – six months earlier than planned.
