Four Oil Tankers Attacked by Drones in Black Sea Near CPC Oil Terminal Off Russian Coast: Report
Drones struck four Greek-managed tankers near a major Kazakhstan oil export terminal handling 80% of exports, causing minor damage and no injuries, sources said.
- On Tuesday, two Greek-managed oil tankers were hit by drones near the Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal, which handles around 80% of Kazakhstan's oil exports, six sources said, while Kazakhstan's energy ministry said CPC continues exports via one mooring.
- On January 1-12, Kazakhstan's oil and gas condensate output plunged by 35% mainly due to export constraints via the Black Sea terminal, following a November 29 drone attack on a CPC mooring near Novorossyisk.
- Matilda, managed by Thenamaris, was hit by two drones while waiting in ballast 30 miles off CPC and was expected to load oil from Karachaganak; a fire was quickly extinguished with no injuries and minor, repairable damage.
- Kazakhstan's energy ministry said on Tuesday that CPC continues oil exports via one mooring, but it was not immediately clear who was behind the drone attacks and Ukraine did not immediately comment.
- The pattern includes both mooring and tanker attacks, affecting vessels tied to Tengizchevroil, as a Ukrainian drone on November 29 hit one of three main CPC moorings near Novorossyisk and tankers Freud and Delta Supreme were also struck near the CPC terminal.
