A ship carrying Russian Sokol crude sailed from the country’s Sakhalin-I project in the Far East, marking the first export from the former Exxon Mobil Corp.-operated project in five months.
Aframax tanker Vladimir Arsenyev departed Russia’s De-Kastri terminal on Oct. 30 and is signaling South Korea as its destination, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg. The vessel is expected to arrive at Yeosu on Nov. 3, where the cargo could be discharged onto another tanker through a so-called ship-to-ship transfer, or delivered to the port.
