Supplies of diesel fuel to Ukraine from Romania, Hungary, and Lithuania, which accounted for almost 40% of volumes in September, fell fourfold to 71,000 tons. At the same time, deliveries of diesel from Poland and Greece increased by one-third, to 445,000 tons, accounting for almost 80% of October imports.
This is according to data from the A-95 Consulting Group, reports the industry publication enkorr.
In October, diesel deliveries from Poland increased by 26% to 254,000 tons, a record figure for the entire observation period.
Shipments from Lithuania fell by 60% to 25,000 tons due to repair works at the Mazeikiai refinery.
"Hungary also did not deliver significant volumes; shipments from MOL in Hungary fell from 52,000 to 20,000 tons, the lowest result since April 2023. Recall that disruptions on this route began in September due to numerous drone attacks on the Druzhba pipeline pumping stations in August," the publication notes.
Greece became the second-largest source of diesel deliveries in October, supplying 191,000 tons, 41% more than in September.
The publication notes that
"Ukrainian sanctions against the fuel terminal in Constanța cleared the way for Greeks to enter the Ukrainian market."
At the same time, restrictions on Constanța (a port in Romania) did not lead to increased supplies from Turkey. In October, 48,000 tons of STAR product entered the Ukrainian market, 6% less than in September.
Shipments from Romania fell from 159,000 tons to 26,000 tons.
