A tanker carrying about 40,000 tons of Russian diesel has stopped sailing en route to the United States.

International market service provider Kpler said on the 10th that an oil tanker carrying about 40,000 tons of Russian diesel, originally bound for New York, is currently in the North Atlantic and has not yet reached the U.S. East Coast, with its next destination unclear. Kpler said the tanker, named "AGIOI FANENDES," loaded ultra-low-sulfur diesel at the Russian port of Primorsk on October 23. Its Automatic Identification System initially showed the destination as New York with an estimated arrival on November 7, but the destination information was later changed to "waiting for orders." Data shows that since November 9, the tanker has been almost stationary, with its draft still at 11 meters, indicating the cargo has not been unloaded. The ship's next destination remains unclear. UK-based maritime analysis firm Windward said the same day that it had previously been highly confident that two tankers carrying Russian diesel were heading to the United States, but one of them has turned around. Even if the other continues to the United States, its cargo is likely not diesel.
