S&P Global tracks who are transporting Russian crude on a monthly basis. In March we found PAO Sovcomflot and some well known shadow tanker operators are cutting their shipments following #US #sanctions. But #Russia was actually exporting more as some 20 companies carried the #OPEC plus member's crude for the first time since #G7 price cap came into force in December 2022. Most of the companies are little known, single-ship operators registered in #Turkey, Seychelles, the #UAE, #China and #India, often using tankers not serviced by G7-linked firms and potentially trading outside of the price cap. But one of them is an Emirati company operating 17 tankers with 1.8 million dwt set up last year, and one a Turkish group with 28 tankers totaling nearly the same capacity this year, suggesting a potential emergence of new 'gray' players with sizable fleets devoted to restricted trades. #oil #oott See full story/infographic: https://lnkd.in/efzZiBFh

● A group of Western insurers has said a Russian oil price cap has become unenforceable and only pushed more ships into joining a shadow fleet, delivering one of the harshest rebukes to the measure that had been meant to cut revenue to the Kremlin. ● The cap allows Western shippers and insurers to participate in Russian oil trading as long as oil is sold below $60 per barrel. ● "The oil price cap appears increasingly unenforceable as more ships and associated services move into this parallel trade. We estimate that around 800 tankers have already left the International Group Clubs as a direct result of the introduction of the oil price cap."

The non-G7 fleet, mainly comprising shadow tankers, was responsible for loading 45.7 million barrels in India-bound shipments in April -- also the highest since the price cap and a jump from 34.2 million barrels in March -- according to the preliminary data, which reflected a recent CAS methodology change to count more CPC Blend as Russian exports. Last month, 14 Sovcomflot-owned Suezmax and Aframax tankers were shipping 11.3 million barrels of Russia's flagship Urals crude to India, which has emerged as the largest Russian crude buyer, compared with two ships with 1.5 million barrels in March. #Russia #oil #price #sanctions Click and see more https://lnkd.in/gS-AdGFD

China's Aviation Industry Sees Slowed Recovery Post-Summer Recent data indicates a concerning trend in the Chinese aviation sector. Despite an increase in airline seat capacity, demand has fallen below pre-pandemic levels since September, particularly in long-haul international flights, which significantly impact jet fuel consumption. Key Points: ◾ Shift towards shorter domestic flights, now 93% of total traffic, contrasts with pre-pandemic trends. ◾ Chinese refiners, facing high #diesel inventories and narrow East-West arbitrage windows, are increasingly focusing on #jetfuel exports, now comprising 38% of all Chinese CPP exports, up from 31% last year, marking a significant trend shift. ◾ Chinese refiners have used 93% of their annual oil product export quotas, with approximately 2Mt remaining. They're expected to focus on jet fuel exports, as current market conditions don't favour exporting winterized ULSD to Northwest Europe. This shift poses challenges for refiners and alters global #fuel consumption patterns. With jet fuel exports now a strategic focus, Chinese refiners are adapting to these market dynamics. Professionals in the aviation and energy sectors should monitor these developments closely. #kpler #China #EnergyMarket #GlobalEconomy

🚨🚨 Nearly 1,100 #tankers operated in Russia’s crude oil and petroleum products trade since price caps were imposed by the Group of Seven (#G7) countries and their allies on Moscow’s #oil and #petroleum products from December 5, 2022 and February 5, 2023, respectively, as per an analysis of ship tracking data till November 15 by #energy cargo tracker Vortexa. 🇮🇳 🇷🇺 Given #India’s newfound status as the biggest destination of Russian #crude following #Moscow’s February 2022 invasion of #Ukraine, a sizeable number of these 'opaque tankers' would have been involved in transporting oil from Russia to Indian #refiners. 🚢 🛢 A large number of #opaque fleet tankers have complex and obscure ownership structures and are registered in geographies with lax regulatory oversight. Often, such vessels, which are usually quite old, operate with substandard insurance and certifications. More in the story.

📊 Unintended Consequences of the Red Sea Conflict: Russia-Saudi Oil Trade Dynamics 🛢️⚓ Recent events in the Red Sea have triggered unexpected ripples, affecting key players like Russia and Saudi Arabia and their oil trade. The whole market is eyeing these developments and their potential impacts on trade. 🔍 Our Insights: - Using the Windward platform, we noted significant weekly shifts in Saudi Arabian port arrivals. In short, after peaking on the week of December 17, it looks like oil imports from Russia to Saudi are about to jump off a cliff- most probably due to the security issues of sailing through the Red Sea. - The combination of the Galaxy Leader kidnapping (Nov 20, 2023), and Maersk's Red Sea sailing halt (Dec 15, 2023), and BP's subsequent announcement (Dec 18, 2023) are reshaping maritime routes and strategies. 🌏 Russia-Saudi Trade Under the Lens: - Post EU's ban on Russian imports, Saudi Arabia upped its intake of Russian oil products, especially fuel oil. A record 910,000 metric tons were imported in June 2023, as per Kpler data. - The total fuel oil imports from Russia in the first half of 2023 (2.86 million metric tons) exceeded 2022’s full-year volume. 🤔 Unintended Geopolitical Impacts: - The Houthis, amidst attempts to finalize a peace agreement with Saudi Arabia, may have inadvertently influenced Saudi's imports from Russia. - The Iran-backed Houthis likely didn't anticipate affecting a major export destination for Russian oil to Saudi Arabia. Coupled with increased US sanctions (see - https://lnkd.in/dnHwz5rP) , this adds another layer of pressure. 🎯 This matters to #bunkerfuel traders looking to source new deals, to #oil traders looking at arbitrage as well as to #shipping companies looking to position their vessels for the next trade. 🔥 Key Takeaway: Our industry thrives on foresight and adaptability. Technology to help you create tailored queries and identify trends as they evolve is key to more profitable operations. #MaritimeTrade #OilExports #RussiaSaudiTrade #RedSeaConflict #GeopoliticalAnalysis #DataDrivenDecisions #logistics #maritime

First ever public bids have been made for fob diesel in northwest Europe, as fob ARA trade has grown in importance in the region since EU and UK sanctions excluded Russian products. Trafigura placed two bids for 30,000t French winter diesel cargoes on a fob ARA basis, the highest bid at an $8/t premium to Ice December diesel, for loading between 6 and 10 December. The bids were placed on the Argus Open Markets (AOM) price discovery platform. The most liquid public market for diesel in northwest Europe is the German diesel barge market at ARA, leaving the trade in French diesel opaque in recent weeks, with market participants noting difficult price discovery.

Following declining product exports after Ukrainian strikes hit Russian refinery infrastructure, vessels are increasingly leaving the Russian CPP trade and heading to other markets. Extra LR tonnage in other markets is easily able to be absorbed in a high demand environment, but extra MR2 supply in the Atlantic Basin is weighing on an already oversubscribed market. These tankers which left the Russian trade have done so at the same time we see preliminary signs Russian diesel exports are beginning to increase and reach seasonal averages. However, there are increasing signs Russia is having difficulty finding buyers for its diesel. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eVvhvp3q #vortexa #diesel #russia #freight #oilandgas
