In July, the port “Yuzhny” returned to the first place in terms of imports of petroleum products

In July, the seaport “Yuzhny” (Odessa region) received 39.85 thousand tons of imported oil products and came out on top in terms of transshipment among other sea ports, according to statistics from the Administration of the Sea Ports of Ukraine (AMPU).

Compared to June, the port of Yuzhny increased the intake of imported petroleum products by 2.3 times (by 22.4 thousand tons). According to enkorr, in July the bulk of imports fell on DT. The second position is occupied by jet fuel. This year, the import of oil products through the port of Yuzhny is carried out by the WOG Group, Grant-UNT, Maddox, Alliance Energy Trade, Eurostandart, and others.

Until July, the port of Nikolaev held the first place in terms of the volume of imported oil products. In July, it received 30.68 thousand tons of oil products, which is 20.5% (7.9 thousand tons) less than the previous month. The bulk of imports through this port are accounted for by the Trade Commodity group.

In total, the ports of Nikolaev and Yuzhnoye for 7 months of 2018 accounted for almost 80% of all imports of oil products through the ports of the AMPU. During this period, the port of Nikolaev received 175.8 thousand tons of oil products (-21.7% compared to the same period in 2017), the Southern port – 156.3 thousand tons (+ 6.4%).

In just 7 months of 2018, 435.3 thousand tons of oil products were imported through the sea ports that are managed by the AMPU, which is 2.7% less than in the same period in 2017.

In May of this year, after an 18 months pause, the import of petroleum products resumed through the country’s largest oil terminal in the port of Odessa. From May to July, it was imported 43.8 thousand tons of oil products. Previously, enkorr reported on the beginning of deliveries of Turkmen diesel fuel by Skywalk Trading company to Odessa for the company Eurostrendart, as well as import supplies of straight-run gasoline (naphtha) for the petrochemical enterprise Karpatneftekhim.

The biggest growth dynamics in the import of oil products for the period of 7 months of 2018 was shown by the Kherson seaport, having increased the handling by 3.1 times to 48.2 thousand tons.

Recall, the rates of port cathedrals in Ukrainian ports remain higher than in other ports of the Black Sea region. The AMPU explains this by an increased tax burden on ports that transfer about 63% of their revenues to the budget.

As reported enkorr, during his speech at the conference Black Sea Petroleum Trading 2018, the director of the Consulting Group A-95 Sergey Kuiun stressed the importance of the value of offshore oil transshipment complexes in the event of the termination of the supply of petroleum products from Russia and Belarus. According to S. Kuyun, in order to increase the reliability of the oil product supply system, it is necessary to create a state transshipment of oil products, a system of oil and oil products, as well as the revision and formation of the necessary rolling stock
