Russian Imported Gasoline Stuck at Ports, Pricing Disputes Highlight Domestic Fuel Crisis
智通财经2026/08/14 09:36- According to industry organization InfoTEK, imported gasoline arriving at Murmansk Port has been stranded on tankers for 9 days without unloading. The reason is that importers hope to sell it at 150,000 rubles per ton to cover logistics costs, while regulatory agencies insist on implementing the SPIMEX exchange wholesale price of 77,000 rubles per ton.
- There is a clear pricing dispute between the two sides. Although this issue is expected to be resolved eventually, even if this batch of fuel enters the market smoothly, its supply can only cover a very small part of the domestic fuel shortage.
- To fundamentally alleviate the current fuel crisis, the speed of refinery repairs must exceed the rate of shutdowns caused by drone attacks. The pace of capacity recovery remains the key variable in determining the balance of market supply and demand.
