New Master of Seas: G7 Price Cap Vs. Russian Oil Fleet, Insurance Companies & Northern Sea Route
The G7 club, the EU and Australia apparently underestimated Russia's capabilities to resist the oil price-capping scheme: Moscow has a fleet, insurance companies, and safe routes to transport its crude outside the West's control.
Russia still has plentiful consumers among developing countries where it has re-oriented oil flows. China and India have emerged as the biggest buyers of Moscow's hydrocarbons, absorbing two-thirds of over two million barrels per day. So, what are the ways in which Russia sells its produced oil despite the sanctions of the West?
