According to Bloomberg News Agency today, Tuesday, Moscow sent the second shipment of Russian crude oil ever from the west across the Arctic circle to China. This route may be the quickest day for buyers in Asia.
According to information gathered by Bloomberg, the oil tanker and ice sweller Vasily Denkov is sailing along the North Sea route after receiving crude oil late last month from an anchored storage tanker in the far northwest city of Mormansk.
The ship, which transported a relatively small shipment of oil, crossed the northern coast of Russia, and passed through the Bereng Strait, which separates the country from Alaska early week, and is scheduled to reach the Chinese port of Richao, on November 17.
The ship will travel 3300 miles across the top of Russia and endure some of the most challenging sea conditions on earth, including frequent encounters with icebergs and subfreezing temperatures.
The trip is the quickest route between Europe and East Asia because it bypasses the Suez Canal and the Baltic Sea ports, which take half as long.
This trade will stop mainly in the coming weeks; Because the European Union prohibits most imports transmitted by sea from Russia as of December 5..
