Russia’s largest petrochemicals producer Sibur has put extra LPG shipping capacity in place to boost exports from the Baltic port of Ust-Luga.
A new charter deal has replaced tonnage previously chartered in from US-listed Navigator Holdings.
Industry sources told Reuters that Sibur will increase LPG loadings by 25% from the terminal in June, raising the total to 52,000 tonnes from 43,000 tonnes in May.
