# Russian Diesel Tanker Turns Away from US Coast, Raising Questions Over Fuel Deliveries

> The Agioi Fanendes, carrying about 40,000 tonnes of ULSD from Russia's Primorsk port, changed course roughly 400 nautical miles off New York and is sailing in a zigzag pattern with its destination listed as "for orders." The move follows a Putin-Trump agreement for Russia to supply diesel to the US and global markets. No Russian diesel cargo has yet reached the US.

## Why it matters

If Russian diesel does not reach the US, the expected added supply will not ease tight distillate markets, keeping diesel prices elevated. Uncertainty over the deal supports diesel and freight costs for feed transport.
