Kazakh state company KazTransOil may redirect oil exports to the Baltic port of Ust-Luga (Leningrad region) from Novorossiysk “due to risks in the Black Sea”, said Reuters Eric Sagiyev, Deputy General Director of the company.
“In Novorossiysk, we are considering options. If the situation in the Black Sea worsens, the volumes that we transport in the direction of the port of Sheskharis (in Novorossiysk.— ”b”) will be redirected to the port of Ust-Luga,” said Mr. Sagiev.
Previously, Novorossiysk and the entire Black Sea coast of the Caucasus were attacked by the armed forces of Ukraine (APU). In particular, on August 4 in the port of Novorossiysk introduced a temporary ban on the movement of ships due to an attempted attack by a UAV drone on the Novorossiysk naval base.
Now Kazakh oil is mainly transported through the pipeline of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, which connects oil fields in the west of the country and Russian fields on the Caspian shelf with a sea terminal in Novorossiysk. Its length is 1511 km.
