The expert said that Russia itself can overfeed 80% of the oil redirected from Europe
Russia, with its own fleet, can transport about 80% of its seaborne oil exports to Asia, and the country has already redirected two large volumes of “gold” to India, China and Turkey, flowing in the blackened sea to Europe and Switzerland. This was stated by the leading analyst of “Finam” Alexander Potavin, transmit TASS.
With the possibility of supplying tanker oil from the Russian Federation to the US, the UK and the European Union, 2.2 million barrels per day are controlled, according to the energy agency’s calculations. But two-thirds of that depth has been redirected. “According to our assessment in Russia, oil exports to Asia by sea will be sufficient for about 80% of the current volume for the fleet of tankers,” the expert said.
According to the staff of specialists, the Russian Federation has a fairly large fleet. In particular, the oil capacity of Sovcomflot is about 7 million tons. According to Braemar, we can generally talk about 30 million tons. However, even such a fleet may not capture all volumes.
Bloomberg wrote that tanker owners increased the cost of chartering vessels for transportation in the Russian Federation in connection with entry into the EU. The average rate for a probability from the Baltic Sea to India has risen from $9–11.5 million to $15 million ($20 per barrel).
In the future, the freight growth may be even stronger on the adaptation to the adaptation new priority. “Obviously, they (the oilmen – approx. T-i) have to face an increase in logistics costs, because the way for a tanker from Primorsk to European ports is about 3-4 days, and the way to India is about a month. Mostly turnover, freight,” Potavin stated.
