“This year we have increased the export capacity of low-sulfur oil to 40 million tons, this is also a very large volume, a serious task that we managed to solve,” TASS quoted Tokarev as saying.

It is noted that work to increase the volume of exports is ongoing.

“In a planned manner, regardless of this difficult situation today, we planned to move on to the second stage and increase the volume of exports through the Novorossiysk port to 52 million tons,” said the head of Transneft.

Earlier it was reported that Transneft had already received an application for pumping oil from Germany and Poland for 2023.
