Russia Oil Cargo Earlier Linked to Reliance Discharges Elsewhere

Two tankers carrying Russian Urals crude, both of which had signaled India’s Sikka port as their destination last week, have updated their details, according to data compiled by analytics firm Kpler, with one of the vessels discharging at a neighboring facility over the weekend.

Cosmo Sail had issued signals indicating Sikka as its next port of call on Dec. 29, Kpler data show, a detail that led it to link the shipment to the giant Jamnagar refinery operated by Reliance Industries Ltd. A few days later, however, the vessel delivered its cargo to an adjacent single-point mooring facility owned by Bharat Petroleum Corp.
