Drones hit two tankers in Black Sea as Kazakh oil production plummets, managers say
At least two Greek-managed tankers struck by drones near the Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal faced minor damage; Kazakhstan’s oil exports through the terminal dropped 35%, sources said.
- On Jan 13, multiple Greek-managed oil tankers were hit by drones near the Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal, Reuters reported offshore strikes.
- The Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal handles around 80% of Kazakhstan's oil exports, and a Ukrainian drone on November 29 hit one of three main CPC moorings, preceding falls in output and exports.
- Matilda was hit by two drones while waiting in ballast about 30 miles off CPC, with fires quickly extinguished, no injuries, and minor, fully repairable damage as it sailed away seaworthy.
- CPC said it continues exports via one mooring despite the attacks, while it was not immediately clear who carried out the strikes and Ukraine did not comment.
- Affected tankers were due to load Kazakh crude from Tengizchevroil and Karachaganak, while the CPC pipeline ships oil to the Yuzhnaya Ozereyevka terminal near Novorossiisk.
