Putin's "shadow fleet" sanctions: India stopped taking oil tankers - Bloomberg

According to journalists, it is still unknown that the tankers stop, but they may have G7 sanctions and sanctions. Over the past four weeks, almost 5 million Sokol oil barrels have not been put on Indian refinery. All because the tankers that supplied oil from the Far East to India stopped or drifted off the coast. About it reports Bloomberg. With reference to tanker tracking data, it is unknown that the tankers are stopping, but G7 sanctions may be relevant to this.

Since the middle of last month, the eight tankers who have been breaking the price ceiling installed for Russian oil are owned by Sovcomflot. Despite the fact that they are registered with other companies. Following the US statement on November 16, one of the ships that came under sanctions, NS Century, which once regularly transported oil to the port of Vadinar, still stopped off the Sri Lanka coast two days later. He still drifts there.

Last week, the fate of two Sovcomflot tankers has also befell. "Whatever the reason for the delay, it did not prevent all Sokol oil to India. Another SovComflot tanker, completed the shipment on December 19 and goes to Vadinar, where he should arrive on January 5," the publication reads. Recall that oil is more expensive due to the fall of exports of the Russian Federation and fears about the situation in the Red Sea. It was also reported that Russia first sent tankers to China through the Arctic.
