Russian seaborne crude exports averaged 3.70 mln bpd in the four weeks to Oct 11, down 110k bpd from the four weeks to Oct 4, shipping-tracking data show. Operations at Black Sea ports have slowed amid heightened security concerns: satellite imagery of Novorossiysk’s Sheskharis terminal shows tankers occupying major loading berths for up to four days—about twice the loading time seen at comparable Baltic ports—reducing shipments. A fully laden tanker was struck by a drone after leaving Novorossiysk earlier last week, heightening owners’ and crews’ safety concerns. Russian authorities have rerouted all Kazakh crude exports through Sheskharis to free Ust-Luga berths for Russian cargoes, but higher Baltic shipments have not fully offset the Black Sea shortfall.
