Bloomberg: three tankers with diesel fuel from the USA for Europe changed the route in the Atlantic

In the Atlantic Ocean, three tankers that delivered diesel fuel from the United States to European consumers unexpectedly changed course and are now following other routes.

This is reported by Bloomberg, citing data from the Vortexa analytical company, as well as other information on vessel tracking.

"Tankers carrying diesel fuel to Europe have changed course in the Atlantic Ocean," the newspaper reports.

It is specified that we are talking about the tankers Aliai, Minerva Vaso and Grand Ace 6, which in recent weeks loaded diesel fuel in the United States and were originally heading to Europe: the first was heading for Gibraltar, and the other two to Amsterdam.

However, at a certain point, all three vessels abruptly changed their route while in the Atlantic Ocean. Currently, the Grand Ace 6 is moving along the Gulf of Guinea.

Apparently, the ship is heading for Lome, the capital of African Togo. The other two tankers headed southeast, moving away from the European continent. The publication believes that this is due to rising fuel prices due to the war with Iran.

Earlier, EADaily reported that in France the average price of diesel fuel is approaching € 2.2 (more than 205 rubles) per liter, which was the highest value since 1985.
