"The Russian-flagged Anatoly Kolodkin is expected to reach Cuba in 10 days, carrying 730,000 barrels of fuel, marking the first oil shipment in three months due to a U.S. energy blockade."
"Pinon noted that Cuba consumes roughly 20,000 barrels of diesel per day, and the Sea Horse's cargo does not necessarily cover overall demand for diesel given the island's low storage inventories."
"The anticipated shipment could produce about 180,000 barrels of diesel, enough to feed Cuba's daily demand for nine or 10 days, but each product has its specific demand."
Cuba is preparing for its first shipment of Russian oil this year, arriving on the tanker Anatoly Kolodkin. This shipment comes after the government announced reliance on natural gas, solar power, and thermoelectric plants due to severe power outages. The tanker carries 730,000 barrels of fuel, marking the first oil shipment in three months due to a U.S. energy blockade. A second vessel, the Sea Horse, is also transporting 200,000 barrels of diesel, which may not meet Cuba's daily demand of 20,000 barrels.
