OREANDA-NEWS  The only Russian oil tanker "Volgotrans 2701", which was in line at the Bosphorus with other vessels, passed through the Strait and reached the Sea of Marmara. Its parking is planned in the Turkish port of Tekirdag, it follows from the data of the ship tracking service. The Turkish Ministry of Transport announced the passage of the tanker the day before.

In early December, it was reported that a queue of oil tankers formed in the Bosphorus and Dardanelles Straits. This happened against the background of the agreement of the EU countries on the ceiling of prices for Russian oil. Turkey requested insurance documents for tankers.

After that, the US Treasury stressed that the introduction of the ceiling does not require additional inspections of tankers in the Turkish straits, since the restriction applies only to Russian supplies of the resource. Bloomberg wrote that most of the tankers standing in line come from Kazakhstan, and only one of them has about 1 million barrels of Russian Urals oil. According to the agency, he is going to India.
