Latest incidents, closures and operational alerts reported for Novorossiysk. Stay informed before planning calls.
Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refineries have taken ~20% of Russia's refining capacity offline, redirecting more crude into seaborne exports from Baltic and Black Sea ports while cutting refined product exports by 17% YoY in Q2 2026. This creates a divergence between crude tanker demand (supported by higher Aframax/Suezmax liftings from Primorsk, Ust-Luga, and Novorossiysk) and product tanker demand (weakened), with elevated operational risk and loading unreliability at western Russian ports.
Ongoing Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian oil refineries have caused widespread fuel shortages across Russia, with ~90% of regions reporting rationing or supply disruptions as of late June 2026. This reduction in Russian crude-processing capacity and domestic fuel supply may affect bunker fuel availability at Russian ports and disrupt the export of petroleum products via maritime routes.
