Turkmen oil transshipment resumed via Makhachkala port after 2 months

​The transshipment of Turkmen oil via the Makhachkala sea trade port resumed after a 2-month pause, the assistant of the CEO of the port, A. Abdulgadimov, said.

The tanker “Azeri Karabakh” has entered the port with the first lot of oil from Turkmenistan. By July 13th over 6 thousand tons of oil had been loaded into the reservoirs of Dagnefteprodukt. By the evening another tanker with oil came from Turkmenistan, he said.

According to the first deputy CEO of the Makhachkala port, M. Khidirov, in conformity with the signed contract within a month not less than 50 thousand tons of Turkmen oil will be transshipped. In September its volumes are expected to grow by 4-5 times and make up over 200 thousand tons.

Simultaneously with the Turkmen oil the transshipment of Kazakh oil goes on. The quota on the transshipment of Kazakh oil stays the same – about 200 thousand tons a month, Mr. Abdulgadimov said.

Previously the head of Transneft, N, Tokarev, said that he Makhachkala port might be closed for oil shipment. He said partners in Kazakhstan had notified of the planned gradual reduction of transshipment volumes via the Caspian to Makhachkala.
