A Tanker Equipped With A Russian Diesel Engine Unexpectedly Began Moving Away From The U.S. Coast

The ship turned around about 400 nautical miles from New York.

The Agioi Fanendes, a ship carrying Russian diesel fuel to the United States, has changed course. It is now moving away from the country's coast.

This was reported by Bloomberg.

The tanker carrying Russian diesel, which briefly signaled its intent to enter U.S. waters, turned around approximately 400 nautical miles from New York.

The Agioi Fanendes is carrying about 40,000 metric tons of ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel (about 300,000 barrels). It has now begun moving away from the U.S. East Coast.

Since November 9, the vessel has been sailing in a zigzag pattern, according to a port report and vessel tracking data compiled by Bloomberg.

So far, no shipments of Russian diesel fuel have reached the U.S., tracking data shows.

The Agioi Fanendes filed a report with New York after departing from the Russian Baltic port of Primorsk in late October. The ship later changed its destination to “to fulfill orders.”

The tanker is still “en route to fulfill orders, as the unloading port has not yet been confirmed,” said a manager at Eastern Mediterranean Maritime Ltd., the ship’s operator.

Russia stated last month that it had loaded four tankers with diesel fuel destined for the U.S., in accordance with an agreement between Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump.
