Data Indicates Russian Refined Fuel Inflows Moving Through Moroccan Hub
Attacks on domestic refining facilities have pushed Russia to import substantial volumes of gasoline and diesel through third-party blending infrastructure.
Sustained Ukrainian strikes against Russian downstream energy infrastructure have driven Russia to import gasoline and diesel at scale, altering trade dynamics that had held since the beginning of the conflict.
According to an assessment of maritime intelligence from Windward and trade-flow analytics from Vortexa, Russian imports of refined products reached an estimated 3.85 million barrels across July and August.
Shipment volumes accelerated significantly during that timeframe, beginning at approximately 500,000 barrels in July before posting a sharp increase in the subsequent month.
The tracking figures reveal that volumes originating in the European Union and the United Kingdom are reaching Russian buyers after moving through a blending terminal situated in Morocco.
