ESPO tariff to rise in November

摘要

The tariff for crude supplies through Transneft’s East Siberia–Pacific Ocean (ESPO) pipeline may rise by Rbs44/t (75￠/t) for two months from 1 November. A rate of Rbs2,504.13/t ($43.25/t), excluding value-added tax (VAT), would apply until the end of this year, under a draft document from federal anti-monopoly service FAS, before reverting back to Rbs2,460.58/t from 1 January - although market participants expect the higher tariff to remain in place.
