The Ukrainian army appears determined to permanently disconnect the port of Tuapse.
Overnight, the port, one of Russia’s main crude oil export points on the Black Sea, was attacked again by drone strikes, and unconfirmed reports suggested that a merchant ship had been attacked while alongside.
Splash reported on a similar attack on Tuapse eight days ago in which two merchant ships, both foreign-flagged, were damaged and large fires were seen at berths 1A and 1B of the deep-water terminal.
The Tuapse facility has been a repeated target of Ukrainian drones this year. The refinery and terminal complex has a processing capacity of 240,000 barrels per day.
With around 20% of Russia’s domestic refinery capacity destroyed by drones in recent months, authorities have begun urgently building metal cages around oil facilities to protect them from future attacks.
