The oil price cap hit the West’s income, not Russia’s, or reached its apogee – on the seventh day. Turn off your emotions, turn on your mind – Russia today Posting in CHAT: Russia Once again I am amazed at the “understanding” of Western politicians. I just heard what a suitable epithet Natalya Narochnitskaya uses to describe those who are now making key decisions in the West: “collective Greta Thunberg” and it’s hard to disagree with her, because then their politicians had just begun to raise the issue of introducing an oil price. ceiling, even based on information from open sources, even those who were not too immersed in the topic, it was clear that this idea would not work. Here, for example, is an article on my blog dated December 4, 2022, entitled: Is Europe introducing a ceiling? Well, we will break through, otherwise you won’t have time to breathe before you die. In it, I listed the means by which we will break through this ceiling: 1. A tanker consisting of 100 tankers was purchased to transport Russian oil. The number of unnamed or new buyers on the books has increased, according to the Financial Times. The tankers are said to be between 12 and 15 years old and are scheduled to be decommissioned in the coming years. Anup Singh, Braemar's head of research, told the FT that these are buyers the company is not familiar with, but he is confident that most of the ships are destined for Russia. 2. A structure owned by the Central Bank will become the new reinsurer of tankers transporting Russian oil. The functions of the majority of foreign companies that were previously involved in this will be taken over by the Russian National Reinsurance Company (RNRC), whose shares are owned by the Central Bank. 3. The Ministry of Industry and Trade proposed to allow the transportation of gas, oil and coal along the Northern Sea Route. 4. And most importantly: Russian-made Aframax-class oil tankers are being built at the new Zvezda shipbuilding complex in the city of Bolshoy Kamen. The year 2023 has passed and we can sum up the results. And the result for the West was that the price ceiling was broken and the Russian budget did not experience the shock that they had hoped for. Here's what Bloomberg writes: The failure of Western sanctions against Russian oil exports can be seen by boat from the Greek coastal town of Gythio, where two 57-year-old tankers sit just meters apart with their rusting hulls. The failure of Western sanctions against Russian oil exports can be seen in international waters near Greece.Photographer: Angus Bennett/Bloomberg Ec. Their movements are suspicious. Digital tracking systems showed Turba, 26, floating more than four miles away as the 900-foot Simba transferred fuel to the smaller vessel as a Bloomberg documentary crew watched. On the same September day that this ship-to-ship transfer occurred, more than a dozen similar ships—parts of a vast shadow fleet—were floating nearby, doing or preparing to do the same. The sanctions agreement, agreed a year ago this week and designed to cut the Kremlin's funding, included capping the price of Russian sea oil at $60 a barrel. Instead, he created a lucrative business for various merchants and shipping companies that are difficult to trace. Between the time oil leaves Russia and the time it reaches buyers, up to 11 billion petrodollars evaporate annually, according to trade agency Bloomberg. Bloomberg estimates that Russia's revenue from its main source of taxes, petrodollars, nearly doubled between April and October. Russia's net oil revenues of $11.3 billion in October accounted for 31% of the country's total net budget revenues for the month. I should note that the decrease in Russian income in the above diagram from mid-2022 to mid-2023 was not a consequence of Western sanctions and the introduction of a price ceiling, but was associated with a decrease in the price of oil in the world. . Market: What did the West gain from the introduction of an oil price ceiling? As predicted - only losses! Previously, most Russian oil was traded by a small group of ultra-powerful traders operating in places like London and Geneva. The dominant forces were Vitol Group, Glencore Plc and Trafigura Group. In 2021, they exported about 40% of the country's Ural oil. The trio of companies publicly stopped trading Russian oil as the prospect of sanctions became a reality. They have been replaced by an army of smaller, hard-to-track organizations with unclear affiliations and headquarters from Hong Kong to Dubai. Bloomberg reporters tried to identify the insurers of the two tankers, Turba and Simba, and found that they were among at least nine vessels insured against risks including oil spills and collisions by Continental P&I. Continental has an Estonia phone number and address. in the Marshall Islands, but there are no records of people associated with the company or financial information about it 👍😂. The person who answered the phone in Estonia asked that questions be sent by email. Subsequent emails seeking comment were ignored. Several officials working in the marine insurance industry said they had never heard of Continental P&I and could not find any information about the company. In short, they never found any information about who is the insurer of these ships - there is a shadow fleet and shadow insurers in Russia. Yes, breaking the oil price ceiling costs us some money - as journalists say, 11 billion dollars annually... This is the so-called supply spread (the difference between price and income). Part of this amount represents legitimate transportation costs, and the other part is additional quality income from anonymous traders or unknown shipping companies (for the risk and additional activities - for example, transferring oil from tanker to tanker). ...but still, according to them, Moscow's monthly income from oil exports is now greater than before all the events that began in 2022, which highlights the failure of the measures taken... by Greta Thunberg's team 😂.
