A month after the European Union’s sanctions, India’s Niara Energy Limited is relying on the growing ponds of Dark flat tankers to transport its products, and is a narrow menu of raw imports to continue its operations.
According to those familiar with the matter, the struggle for the survival of the oil refiner has been focused on the Indian government, which is concerned about the barriers to oil flow that can endanger national energy safety. He said that New Delhi has approved at least one coastal tanker in recent days to help the company move the cargo domestic.
The refiner, owned by Russian Oil Major Rosneft PJSC, is an important pillar of the Indian market. Its 400,000 barrels of a one -day processing plant accounts for 8 % of the country’s dispersion, and the company runs 7 % of its fuel stations. Moscow oil revenue has been forced to reduce run rates after hiding by trade partners following EU measures.
Some tankers, which are already green to supply Nira by the government, and green for the transport of better products, include the approved ships. According to the owner of a ship, a similar black ship, Lero, has scored at least three domestic runs for Niara after moving beyond New Delhi, which, according to a ship owner, who refused to discuss sensitive information, and discuss the ship tracking data.
The medium -sized range tanker was blacklisted by the European Union on July 18, which was a part of a widespread sanctions package targeting Russian oil exports, which also fined Niara. The owner of Lero has been listed as the key Marvel Limited at the Maritime Database of S&P Global Inc., though no details of the contact have been added.
According to a port agent report and ship tracking data, a long -range tanker next, another European Union -approved ship, which is also a blacklist through the UK, is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday to take diesel equipment at Niara’s Vidinar Terminal. In the database, Istanbul -based Next Maritime and Trading Limited is listed as its owner, which has no email or phone number again.
Such ships are filling the gap found by local ship owners who have stopped doing business with Niara. They have been forced to cut ties with European ports and insurance to protect their affairs. The ships that are included under Russian or Iranian insurance – and those who have been approved by New Delhi – are eligible to serve Nira.
According to shipping data, Niara has more than 1.2 million barrels of better products on four approved ships.
The company did not immediately respond to the comment request. In a statement last week, he said he was committed to transporting his products through coastal, rail and road networks to effectively present its Indian consumers.

According to a tanker, a tanker, a tanker who recently transferred a ship from a gasoline ship made by Niara, has returned to Vidinar to get more products, according to the ship tracking data. Statistics show that the ship that took the cargo, Wu Tai has not yet removed the shipment.
Niara has taken the Urals oil feed stock from Russia since the end of July. According to a port agent reports and ship tracking data, the refiner will receive two equipment uals this week, which will receive a total of 1.4 million barrels, two Aframex tankers, Mars 6 and Tiger 6 about 1.4 million barrels, which will be reported.
Another Greek -owned Super Tinker, Eugenia I, who was about to deliver the Middle East raw last week, is still proud in the Persian Gulf.
“It is not a problem to keep Russian crude goods to Niara,” Esujini Gravo, a deputy commercial representative of Moscow in India, said in a briefing in New Delhi on Wednesday. He said that more widespread, Russian oil imports are expected to continue at the current level, despite the geographical political situation, watching the lack of alternatives.
“There are special mechanisms for obtaining sanctions and taxes,” said the cervical.
