Russia's diesel cargo changed its destination to 'Atlantic coast', shipping data shows

LONDON, Oct 29 (Reuters) - The tanker Leruo carrying a Russian diesel cargo, previously destined for Brazil, has changed its destination to "Atlantic coast for order", LSEG shipping data showed.

Russia has partially lifted its self-imposed diesel export ban since October 10, following an agreement between President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump for Russia to supply the US and global markets.

The deal included a temporary lifting of US sanctions on Russian fuel supplies, though EU and UK embargoes on Russian fuel imports remain in force.

The Kremlin said on October 15 that Russian diesel had begun to reach global markets.

According to previous shipping data from Kpler and LSEG, at least two tankers loaded with ultra-low sulphur diesel in the Russian Baltic port of Primorsk were initially heading to traditional destinations, signalling Turkey and Brazil.

One of those tankers, the Leruo, departed Primorsk on October 16 and was signalling Manaus, Brazil as its destination.

The Financial Times mentioned Leruo as one of three tankers destined for the US, citing ship-tracking platform Marine Traffic.

According to LSEG shipping data, the tanker Leruo moved via the North Sea, changing its signal to "Atlantic coast for order". Its final destination was not yet clear.
