In the last month, Russia has exported approximately 1.0 million tons of diesel to African countries. Some may be re-exported.
A trader mentioned that some volumes could be resold, blended, or transshipped to reduce freight costs on long routes.
Approximately 42,500 tons of diesel loaded onto a cargo vessel in the Baltic port of Primorsk toward late February was transferred ship-to-ship close to the port of Lomé in Togo to a tanker.
