US blacklists Rosneft and Lukoil
Change
US sanctions blacklisting Rosneft PJSC and Lukoil PJSC take effect on Friday.
Why it matters
The measures blacklist Rosneft PJSC and Lukoil PJSC and take effect on Friday. Nearly 48 million barrels of Russian crude are currently at sea. Asian buyers and Indian refiners are booking replacement tankers from the Middle East, pushing freight demand on that route to near five-year highs. Vessels including the Spirit 2 and the Furia, each carrying about 730,000 barrels of Urals crude, altered course and are headed to India.
Implications
- • Large cargo volumes at sea lack confirmed destinations, complicating voyage planning for tanker operators.
- • Refiners in Asia, notably India, are reallocating tanker bookings toward Middle East supply lanes, shifting tanker allocation.
