Last weekend, Ukraine announced a new round of attacks on the Ryazan refinery owned by Rosneft. This was the second attack on the refinery in the past month.
Ryazan Refinery is one of the five largest refineries in Russia, with a daily crude oil processing capacity of up to 340,000 barrels.
Ukraine stated that in addition to this, it also successfully attacked the Novokuibyshevsk oil refinery located on Russian territory, and there were explosions and fires at the site.Governors in both regions confirmed drone activity at night, but Russia has not yet detailed the extent of damage to facilities.
Ukraine said the strikes were part of a strategy to "reduce Russia's offensive potential" and aim to hit fuel production and supply chains far from the front lines.Several major crude oil processing units, an oil storage tank and a pipeline bridge at the Ryazan refinery were damaged.
In response, Russia launched an increasingly fierce counterattack against Ukraine's southern coast.A nighttime shelling of Odessa ignited the port's energy facilities and damaged several civilian ships moored at the docks.Currently, a major local port is operating on emergency power, and engineers are making urgent repairs to restore power.
This insecurity has spread directly to offshore operations.Last Friday, Ukraine used cruise missiles and drones to launch a joint attack on Novorossiysk, Russia's largest Black Sea oil hub, causing the port to suspend exports for 48 hours, interrupting the export of 2.2 million barrels of oil per day (equivalent to 2% of global oil supply).The port resumed loading operations on Sunday.
In addition, the situation in Ukrainian waters is equally severe.A ship loading wheat at Odessa Pier 43 reported that multiple drones flew over within 200 to 300 meters of its port side.Meanwhile, local agencies warned of the possibility of another major airstrike overnight.
Currently, all Ukrainian ports maintain a level 3 security alert, and shore leave for crew members is prohibited. Operators maintain the highest level of vigilance and provide refuge protection for crew members during air strikes.
Currently, both sides are launching simultaneous attacks on oil refineries hundreds of miles inland, as well as missile and drone attacks on Black Sea ports.The sea lanes in this area have become a battlefield, with both Russia and Ukraine trying to destroy each other's logistics transportation, fuel supply and export lifelines through attacks.
Due to the escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the situation in the Black Sea has caused key ports along the Black Sea coast to frequently suspend operations or fall into chaos, directly disrupting the export logistics of related materials, and may cause delays in cargo transportation, difficulty in ship scheduling, and unstable fuel supplies for shipping.
We would like to remind cargo owners and freight forwarders who have recently shipped goods to the affected areas to pay close attention to the delays and impacts of the Black Sea turmoil on cargo transportation to avoid unnecessary losses!Forward to everyone~
