Last week, the Kernel Group completed its first seaborne delivery of diesel fuel. The agricultural holding reported this to NaftoRynok.
Details
On March 24, the Kernel cluster received a batch of diesel produced by the Greek company HELLENiQ Petroleum in the Izmail region. The delivery was carried out by the tanker GENERAL POLAD HASHIMOV (IMO: 9575307) in cooperation with a Swiss trader.
The resource was transshipped from the vessel into fuel trucks for subsequent delivery to various regions of Ukraine to meet the needs of the Group's agribusiness.
The company notes that the development of this seaborne route is considered a tool to diversify supplies alongside existing channels, particularly the import of resources produced by Orlen Lietuva from Lithuania.
