ESPO Blend loading plan from Kozmino in June revised up to 2.84 mln t -trade

The ESPO Blend crude oil ESPO-DUB loading plan from Kozmino port in June was revised up by 0.1 million tonnes to 2.84 million tonnes, according to trade sources.

Russia’s Surgutneftegaz had an extra position on June 22-23, they added. The producer issued a spot tender to sell the cargo, which closes on May 29.

The ESPO Blend loading plan from Kozmino, which is rarely revised, was topped up in May and in June this year.

Russia’s oil producers have to divert exports to the East from Western destinations, where export capacity is limited due to the Urals crude oil contamination issue, traders said.
