Russia: Q1 exports to be absent - sources

摘要

There are likely to be no export volumes from Russian suppliers in the first quarter of 2018, according to some sources, though this has not yet been confirmed. As reported last week, suppliers of Russian sulphur exports from producer Gazprom had started negotiations for supply contracts for the first quarter of 2018. Discussions were still in the early stages, and it was not certain how much if any volume would be available for contractual supply given low winter river levels and issues with rail logistics.
