Two tankers carrying Russian diesel that had initially declared U.S. destinations have diverted, while a third has no confirmed discharge port. The movements cast doubt on a U.S.-Russia fuel supply agreement amid legal uncertainty over imports and warnings that companies could face penalties despite Treasury authorization; U.S. diesel inventories are reported 13% below seasonal averages.
Diverted cargoes could further limit already tight U.S. diesel availability ahead of winter, supporting diesel prices. Legal uncertainty may also deter importers from taking Russian supply.
