The United Arab Emirates is poised to help keep diesel flowing into Europe’s largest economy when Russian supplies are cut off early next year.

Wilhelm Hoyer GmbH & Co. KG will receive as much as 250,000 tons of diesel a month in 2023 from Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. That’s equivalent to about two-thirds of all the seaborne diesel-type fuel imports Germany received from Russia last year, according to Bloomberg calculations from Vortexa Ltd. data.
