Tuapse port set for higher Russian oil product shipments in February

This occurred amid unplanned loadings and refinery stoppage after a drone attack on December 31, LSEG data and Reuters calculations showed. According to the operational headquarters of Russia's Krasnodar region, the strike damaged one berth at the port and equipment at Rosneft’s nearby Tuapse refinery.

The port of Tuapse resumed oil product exports after about two-week suspension, supplied by rail from other Rosneft-controlled refineries. The export-oriented Tuapse refinery has not yet restarted processing and unplanned maintenance continues following the attack, market sources said.
