Russian Baltic port resumes crude loading after attacks, Bloomberg News reports

-

April 5 (Reuters) - ‌Russia's key Baltic port of ​Ust-Luga resumed crude loading after days of ⁠disruptions amid multiple Ukrainian drone attacks in the region, Bloomberg News reported ​on Sunday.

The Jewel, an Aframax-class vessel, began ‌a cargo loading on Saturday, the report said, citing shipping information seen by ⁠Bloomberg.

Ukrainian drones struck Russia's Baltic ⁠Sea port of Ust-Luga in late March for the fifth time in 10 days, and industry sources told ‌Reuters that the drones struck crude ⁠oil loading facilities operated ‌by Russian pipeline monopoly ​Transneft.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report. Transneft did not immediately reply ‌to a request for ​comment.

At least 40% ⁠of Russia's oil export capacity ‌has been disrupted ⁠by drone attacks, a disputed strike on a major pipeline and the seizure ​of tankers, Reuters ‌reported last month citing calculations based ⁠on market data.
