Participants of Russian oil export market do not rule out the possibility that Russian Railways OJSC (RZD) terminates shipment of oil and oil products to the ports of Estonia. Tonight PortNews IAA has found out information about possible change in schedule of loading of oil products to be transported to the ports of Estonia (Tallinn, Muuga) with possible termination of loading. PortNews IAA failed to get confirmation from RZD OJSC. However, the participants of the market say “it is quite possible and reasonable”. Such a measure could be caused by aggravation of political relations between the states after removal of the Bronze Soldier monument from the center of Tallinn.
Annual turnover of oil cargo in the port of Tallinn exceeds 22 million tons.
