Maritime Exports of Russian Petroleum Products Through its Black Sea Ports: February 2026 Database

Chart 1. Monthly volumes of Russian petroleum product exports from Black Sea ports, based on the combined deadweight (DWT) of tankers, tonnes

The Monitoring Group of the BlackSeaNews
and Black Sea Institute of Strategic Studies

The Monitoring Group of the Black Sea Institute of Strategic Studies and BlackSeaNews reports on the results of its own monitoring of maritime export of Russian petroleum products from the Black Sea and Azov Sea in February 2026.

In February 2026, 78 tankers exported petroleum products from Russian ports in the Black and Azov Seas. They performed 85 voyages and transported a total of about 2.4 million tons.[1][2]


Importing Countries

Petroleum products were delivered to ports in 14 countries. 

Eight tankers performed ship-to-ship (STS) transfers at offshore transshipment points in the Mediterranean Sea. One of the tankers, OLGA (IMO 9846237), that was operated under the Russian flag, switched off its AIS in the Mediterranean Sea on February, 26.

The countries with the largest volumes of imports of Russian petroleum products from the Black Sea can be found in Chart 2.

Flags

Unlike crude oil tankers, the majority of tankers transporting petroleum products in the Black Sea operate under the Russian flag. In February 2026, 28 vessels were operated under the Russian flag.

The distribution by flag state is presented in Chart 3.

Shipowners

In February, 27 tankers transporting Russian petroleum products from the Black Sea were owned by Russian shipowners. Greek shipowners ranked second with 20 vessels.

More detailed information is provided in Chart 4.

Sanctions

Sanctions have been imposed on 20 out of 78 tankers that transported Russian petroleum products from the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov in February, 2026.[3] 

See Chart 5 for details.

[1]Export volumes of crude oil and petroleum products are presented in the charts using the DWT (deadweight) metric. Deadweight refers to a vessel’s total carrying capacity in tons, and includes the combined weight of cargo, fuel, oil, technical and drnking water, passengers with baggage, crew, and provisions. When analyzing shipments of large volumes of crude oil and petroleum products, this convention does not materially affect the results. Even for tankers with a deadweight of 100,000–150,000 tons, the weight of fuel, water, provisions, and a relatively small crew amounts to only a few hundred tons and therefore does not significantly influence the analysis.

[2]Some tanker voyages involving different types of tankers may be related to the transportation of cargoes other than petroleum products, such as fertilizers and vegetable oil. Since Russia removed all cargo information from public access at the beginning of the war against Ukraine, it is impossible to distinguish such voyages in the database. However, according to our estimates, voyages involving tankers carrying cargoes other than petroleum products account for no more than 4–5% of all voyages.

[3]The database contains information on sanctions imposed by Ukraine, the EU, the UK, the US and Canada. Sanctions from other countries were not analyzed.

[4]Information in the database is partly limited for unregistered users. If you are not registered, you will not be able to see information about voyages that were completed more than 60 days before the viewing date by clicking on the links.
