The Monitoring Group of the Black Sea Institute of Strategic Studies and BlackSeaNews reports on the results of its own monitoring of violations of the embargo on seaborne imports of Russian crude oil into EU countries in November 2023 (see Table 1).

* * *

In November 2023, 5 violations of the EU embargo on seaborne imports of Russian crude oil from the Black Sea were recorded.

Three of them involved the delivery of crude oil to a transshipment point in the Laconian Gulf off the coast of Greece.

Another two violations were the shipments of crude oil from Novorossiysk directly to the port of ANCONA, Italy and CARTAGENA, Spain.

Two voyages were made by tankers belonging to companies from Greece. Shipowners from Turkey, UK and Seychelles performed one voyage each. 

In November 2023, a total of 683,186 tons of Russian crude oil were delivered to the EU in violation of the embargo, compared with 274,240 tons in October 2023.
