Nizhnekamsk fuel oil for Eisk

摘要

Glencore started exporting fuel oil from the 160,000 b/d Taif refinery at Nizh- nekamsk through the 1mn t/yr Eisk ter- minal on the Azov Sea at the end of January, market participants say. The trading firm is due to load 25,000 t/month at Eisk in January-June. Taif supplied about 7,500t to Eisk in January and plans to ship the same in February. Product will head from Eisk into the 70,000t storage tanker Alexey Kosygin in the Kerch strait. Taif had been shipping 170,000-180,000 t/month of fuel oil through St Petersburg port, Ust-Luga and - since November - the Latvian port of Ventspils.
