Mystery about cargo of ship from Russia
The 'Loukas I, en route from Novoorossyisk, has docked in the port of Guaymas, Sonora, on March 30, 2033, raising questions about its cargo. An international consulting firm has been assuring for weeks that the ship was transporting diesel, while the port authorities have indicated that the vessel carried fertilizers. The Russian fuel supply would put Mexico in the crosshairs of various countries —among them the United States— that have sanctioned hydrocarbon exports from Russia, due to that country's invasion of the Ukraine. The Argus consultancy mentioned in a report that the 'Loukas I' was heading to Mexico loaded with 145,400 barrels of diesel of Russian origin. The prestigious consultant explained that the ship, which left from Novorossiysk, Russia, on Feb 19, would be the first of several fuel shipments brought to the Mexican market. The Guaymas port management has denied that the ship's cargo is Russian diesel. Guillermo Von Borstel, commercial director of the Guaymas Integral Port Administration (Asipona Guaymas), has assured that the ship transported NPK liquid fertilizers (Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K)), and that if the Mexican authorities do not inform about any embargo or restriction, it will allow the download in Sonora.
