Tanker Fleet to Redirect Russian Oil from Europe to Asia
October 7, 2022
Chart shows the total number of oil tankers globally, by ship type, with almost 900 Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCC), 700 Aframax tankers and 600 Suezmax ships. Additional charts showing the number of ships in the Russian Sovcomflot fleet and additional tankers that will be required if sanctioned oil needs to be redirected from Europe to Asia (primarily India and China).
As part of the sanctions against Russia, the EU bans insurance and reinsurance of ships caring Russian oil and the EU insurers have until the end of this year to implement the ban. Denying shipping insurance is considered to be one of the most efficient means to exert pressure on the Russian oil industry.
