Summary

On October 20, 2026, operations at the Primorsk terminal were reported to have paused, contributing to a decline in Russian maritime crude oil shipments to a four-week low. While reports suggest the halt at the key Baltic port was likely for maintenance, the disruption led to a decrease in weekly earnings from seaborne crude sales. This decline in export volume occurred alongside a broader reduction in Russian crude extraction.
