[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.
