This vessel Avenca today, December 7, bypassing the embargo on a direct flight from Novorossiysk, delivered 50 thousand tons of Russian oil products to the site. Norfolk is the main naval base of the United States Navy on the east coast of the country, located in the southeastern part of Hampton Roads Bay at the exit from the Chesapeake Bay to the Atlantic Ocean. This was reported by the monitoring group of the Institute of Black Sea Strategic Studies and BlackSeaNews.
According to experts, the tanker left Novorossiysk on November 13. The ship itself is owned by a company registered in Hamburg, Germany. At the same time, the United States and Germany are participants in the embargo against Russian oil exports, introduced on February 5, 2023.
As you know, the US Naval Base Norfolk is the main home port for four US aircraft carrier strike groups and the ships that comprise them. It is the largest naval base in the world and the largest installation of the US Navy, housing 75 warships, 14 piers and berths, as well as 134 aircraft, 11 aircraft hangars.
Let us recall that on December 1, the United States of America imposed sanctions against three tankers transporting Russian oil. The sanctions list included two companies from the United Arab Emirates and one from Liberia.
