MOSCOW, March 3 (Reuters) - Urals, KEBCO and Siberian
Light oil loadings from Russia's Black Sea port of Novorossiisk
in March were set at 2.18 million tonnes, below 2.38 million
tonnes in the February plan.
On a daily basis March oil loadings from the port will fall
17.3% from February, Reuters calculations showed. March is three
days longer than February.
Novorossiisk will also load in March some 0.5 million tonnes
of crude oil from February loading plan, as loading of three
Suezmax and one Aframax vessels from the February schedule was
postponed due to storms.
Kazakhstan has changed the name of the oil it exports
via Russian sea ports from Urals to Kazakhstan Export Blend
Crude Oil (KEBCO) to dissociate it from oil originating in
Russia in order to avoid sanction risks and issues with
financing.
