Rusia și-a crescut puternic exporturile de petrol prin ruta Arctică în doar câteva luni

Russia's oil exports via the Northern Sea Route have surged by nearly 50% this year, with around 20 million barrels shipped to Asia since July. The route, linking western Russian ports to Asian markets, has become more appealing due to disruptions in other shipping lanes. Record-high maritime transport rates have made the Northern Sea Route a viable alternative for Russia, which faces sanctions in European waters. Preliminary estimates suggest an additional 5-10 million barrels could be exported by the end of the navigation season. Gazprom Neft plans to increase its deliveries through this route significantly, and LNG shipments are also expected to rise.
