Sources: BP chartered tanker leaves sanctioned Nayara Energy port without loading oil
According to five sources in the industry and shipping data from LSEG, oil tanker Talara chartered by energy giant BP has left Vadinar, India's newly-sanctioned refiner Nayara Energy, without loading diesel, as planned.
LSEG data indicated that the vessel was to load 60,000 metric tonnes (447,000 barrels), of ultra-low sulphur fuel on July 21, with cargo bound for Africa.
BP and Nayara, which is owned in part by Russia's biggest oil producer Rosneft did not respond immediately to comments. Sources declined to name themselves as they weren't authorised to talk to the media.
Changes in the loading plan suggest that European Union
The following are some of the sanctions that may be imposed on you
The sanctions imposed against Nayara, a Russian-backed refiner and one of India's two private fuel exporters, on Friday disrupt the exports of refined products.
One source said that the vessel Talara did not load its cargo after the EU imposed sanctions. The EU sanctions against Russia for its war in Ukraine were designed to deal further blows to Russia’s oil and energy industries.
Two sources confirmed that BP had released the vessel and made it available to charter in India or the Middle East.
Nayara condemned in a Monday statement the EU for its "unjust" and "unilateral" decision to impose sanction on the company. India, on the other hand, said that it does not support "unilateral sanctions" by the EU.
