A Vietnamese VLCC is underway to Asia after completing the first transshipment of Russian crude from smaller tankers off Morocco.
Kpler said the 308,800-dwt Rolin (built 2005) received stems of Urals crude via ship-to-ship operations from three aframaxes off the city of Nador in the Mediterranean.
The Rolin was off the coast of West Africa on Thursday, signalling arrival in Singapore by 20 July, although China is more likely as an ultimate destination.
