Russian oil is delivered to Ukraine by bypass routes

4

Turkish traders have apparently found a new way to supply Russian oil to Ukraine. Right now, the strange route that the Blue Chem tanker is taking has caught the attention of oil market analysts. It is reported that about seven thousand tons of oil products are on board.

According to the navigation portals Vesselfinder and Marinetraffic, Blue Chem left Novorossiysk on March 10. Four days later, the ship was anchored in the Israeli city of Haifa. By the way, here is one of the oil refineries. Two days later, the tanker was noted at the Egyptian Port Said near the Suez Canal, and after another two days it lay down on the opposite course.



It is now known that the Blue Chem tanker with a cargo of oil products is heading to the Ukrainian port of Izmail on the Dniester. The tanker is expected to arrive at its destination on March 24.

Russian oil is delivered to Ukraine by bypass routes

Experts note that after the start of a special military operation, the ports on the Dniester became one of the main routes for the supply of oil products to Ukraine. And the Blue Chem tanker is far from being the only vessel heading to this port. But why did he have to go to Israel first?

As analysts suggest, the strange route may well be a new scheme for the resale of Russian oil products to Ukraine. It provides for the delivery of Russian raw materials to the Turkish port of Marmara Yereglisi in the Sea of ​​Marmara. It is here that one of the largest storage facilities for petroleum products in Europe is located. The lion's share of oil products comes to Ukraine from the same terminal.

Since February of this year, Turkey has seriously increased its purchases of Russian oil products, presumably for the purpose of resale. The Blue Chem tanker, apparently, is one of the main means of delivering Russian raw materials to the Independent.

At the same time, it is known that back in February of this year, this vessel was called ATA Ocean, and its place of registration was Malta. But later, an unknown Turkish client bought it for $9,7 million. It was renamed Blue Chem and registered in Panama.

    Everything is even simpler - deliveries to Romania and Moldova from Tuapse and Novorossiysk, and from there by railway wagons to Durkaina! The old pattern works great! And Lukoil has a refinery there! He can take oil, process it into Durkaina! To whom - the war, to whom - the mother is dear!

    I am very sorry, but perhaps there is no one besides me to tell the nameless specialists that the city of Izmail is on the Danube, and the Dniester is located approximately in the same place, but in a slightly different place.
    On the Dniester there are Bendery, Tiraspol, but not Ishmael.

    «Rather, the Danube will flow back and the sky will fall to the ground than surrender Ishmael" - these words were conveyed to General-in-Chief Suvorov, when, under his command, Russian troops besieged in 1790 "a fortress without weaknesses." Nevertheless, the river has not changed its course, the sky has not yet “pressed down” the earth, and Izmail has long been no longer a Turkish fortress, but part of the Odessa region.

    Oil and products are stored in large tanks, which is an easy target for UAVs. Selling oil and other products, and then resetting them in Izmail and other terminals, is a purely Israeli approach to doing business with the enemy.
