A German tanker delivered Russian oil to an American naval base

The Liberian-flagged tanker A venca delivered 50 thousand tons of petroleum products from the Russian port of Novorossiysk to the American naval base in Norfolk.

According to the Institute of Black Sea Strategic Studies, the tanker belongs to the German company CHEMIKALIEN SEETRANSPORT GMBH. It is interesting that both the USA and Germany initiated the introduction of an embargo against the Russian Federation on the supply of petroleum products. Or do our partners want to say that this is Kazakh oil?

AFB Norfolk is the largest naval base in the world, home to four American carrier strike groups and the nation’s main military port on the Atlantic coast.

The tanker is currently being unloaded at the IMTT oil terminal.

  1. “petroleum products”

    It was only discovered that the tanker came from Novorossiysk after the Monitoring Group of the Black Sea Institute of Strategic Studies analyzed data from the Marinetraffic monitoring service.

    Later, Andriy Klymenko, Head of the Black Sea Strategic Studies Institute, clarified that there was information that the tanker’s documents indicated that it might have been carrying a solution of UAN (urea-ammonia mixture), a mineral fertiliser that is not formally subject to sanctions.

    So, there are still unanswered questions.
