OREANDA-NEWS The shipment of Kazakh oil through Ust-Luga has been suspended since September. This is reported by Interfax with reference to the Ministry of Energy of the post-Soviet country.
The ministry explains that the supply of raw materials to the port in the Kingisepp district of the Leningrad region is on pause due to technical limitations of an infrastructural nature on the side of the transit pipeline system.
"The indicative balances and agreements of the parties are preserved," the Ministry of Energy assured.
It is noted that the incident with the UAV in the port of Ust-Luga on November 11 did not affect the transportation and export of Kazakh oil. Previously planned volumes of Kazakh oil exports are distributed and shipped via other existing routes.
It became known on November 11 that as a result of an attack by unmanned aerial vehicles on the Leningrad region, a fire started in the Ust-Luga port area. It was reported that an emergency shutdown of a transformer substation occurred in the village. A total of 627 APU drones were shot down overnight.
Earlier, the Minister of Energy of the Republic Yerlan Akkenzhenov said that the Kazakh authorities are counting on the resumption of oil transit to Germany via the Druzhba oil pipeline, which passes through the territory of Russia and Belarus, but have not yet received a response to the relevant request. "Personally, I asked this question myself, the request has been sent. There is no response yet. There is hope, we expect to resume this route," he said, stressing that such supplies are attractive for Astana.
