Drones hit two tankers in Black Sea as Kazakh oil production plummets, managers say
At least two Greek-managed tankers were struck by drones near the Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal, causing fires but no injuries amid Kazakhstan's oil export constraints.
- On Jan 13, three Greek-managed oil tankers were hit by unidentified drones in the Black Sea while two vessels were bound for the Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal, with no injuries and vessels remaining seaworthy.
- Earlier this month Kazakhstan's oil and gas condensate output plunged 35% between January 1 and January 12, mainly due to export constraints via the Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal, which was hit on November 29.
- Kazmunaygas said there were no injuries and minor damage to Matilda, which remains seaworthy after a drone attack 30 miles off CPC moorings.
- The strikes could drive up shipping and insurance costs for Black Sea loads as Kazakhstan's energy ministry said CPC continues limited exports via one mooring, with KazMunayGas and Chevron among shareholders.
- Responsibility remains unconfirmed and Ukraine did not immediately comment, while Greek and Kazakh officials have not assigned blame amid wider Russia strikes killing thousands.
