A second cargo of Russian crude is heading to the port of Tema, Ghana, after offloading the first was held up earlier this year because of national security considerations.
The Suezmax tanker Nissos Tinos left the Arctic port of Murmansk on Wednesday with a cargo of about 1 million barrels of Russian crude and is due to arrive at the west African port later this month, according to tanker tracking data compiled by Bloomberg. The ship is owned by Kyklades Maritime Corp., based in Piraeus, Greece.
