Two new non-European operators were behind the first tankers to load at Russia’s busiest oil products terminal on Monday following the start of a new European export ban and price caps, according to cargo and tracking data.
The 105,400-dwt Osperous (built 2009) and 115,600-dwt Wisdoms Daughter (built 2007), controlled by Middle East and Indian interests, were loading fuel oil at the Baltic port of Ust-Luga, according to shipping databases.
