Russian oil shipments maintained levels near a 16-month peak despite American pressure on major buyers to halt purchases. Vessel tracking showed daily exports averaged 3.62 million barrels through late September, matching May 2024 figures. Washington imposed tariffs on India and urged European Union members to stop transactions, yet New Delhi rejected the demands and called them economic coercion.
China pledged to expand energy ties with Moscow while resisting Group of Seven pressure for trade restrictions. Hungary and Slovakia cited infrastructure limitations preventing sudden supply changes. Turkish imports remained at 300,000 barrels daily as European resistance to policy shifts continued across multiple nations.
Tanker movements increased week over week, carrying 26.75 million barrels compared with 23.69 million previously. Export values rose $240 million to reach $1.57 billion during the measurement period. Terminal capacity constraints could limit future volumes if Ukrainian attacks on refineries intensify, according to shipping data analysis.
