So far no oil company has even agreed to go there. Its extremly expensive and will only generate profits in many many years. The oil is also very low quality, almost like tar. So this entire operation is another pipe dream from him.
That's why I also posted this...
Both tanker and cargo vessels are traveling to and from Novorossiysk and other ports day and night. Turkish, Greek, and Malaysian-flagged tankers are included. Activity can also be observed in the Sea of Azov, including traffic to and from the port of Berdyansk. So, in essence, has the shadow fleet been attacked? Yes. However, this has not made a significant dent in activity, at least not yet.Where exactly do you see any illegal action? Please elaborate. It becomes illegal when we lose. Before that its risk management.
Look this tanker here for example, got neutralized by a single drone, another one followed. That alone escalated the risk to the point that shipping companies avoid russia.
As for the terminal, its still closed by today. The image is from November.
As for now, all terminals at Novorossiysk are closed.
I checked, this is all tankers in the black sea at the moment. Looks good for me:

So oil transport through black sea is down by 100% as for today.
And thats why attacking those tankers was so important. Shipholders are easily scared away by such things.
Thank you. So its important to keep pressure up.
In your world of fantasy.
I dont know amigo. Is it my fantasy that now oil platforms in caspian sea get attacked?
Maybe. Honestly, I don't know. If you look at the depth of Russian penetrations around Podoly and Kurilovka, it raises questions. Could there be a similar Russian penetration around Moskovka? I think so. It's just a question of having confirmation. I think the front line here is murky, and we're dealing with a large amount of fog of war. Looking at those "tentacles" one also has to point out that they aren't exactly sustainable in that form. So either they've already collapsed or they've broadened into some other shape. Yet they're still on the map for days. I think it's a case of lack of information.
