Russia’s oil product exports rebounded in November as the easing of restrictions on road fuels and the end of refinery maintenance boosted flows.

Refined fuel shipments climbed to 2.2 million barrels a day, according to data compiled by Bloomberg from analytics firm Vortexa Ltd. That’s roughly 164,000 barrels a day higher than in October, when volumes slid to a three-year low. The increase happened even though stormy weather caused significant disruption to exports from Russian ports.
