Tunisia imports record Russian gasoil as other buyers disappear – Reuters

LONDON, March 3 (Reuters) - Tunisia imported record volumes of Russian gasoil and diesel last month as an EU embargo forced Moscow to find new customers for its oil products, according to traders and tracking data.

Tunisia imported nearly 77,000 barrels per day (bpd) of Russian gasoil and diesel in February, compared with 20,000 bpd in January and 25,000 bpd in December last year, data from analytics firm Kpler showed.

Most of the February volumes were delivered by Russia's Lukoil (LKOH.MM) and Dubai-based trader Coral Energy, the Kpler data showed. In January, Coral delivered all of Tunisia's Russian imports, the data showed.
