Tanker carrying 40,000 tons of Russian diesel stalls en route to U.S., says Kipler

LONDON, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- A tanker carrying approximately 40,000 metric tons of Russian diesel has stalled in the North Atlantic before reaching the U.S. East Coast, with its next destination uncertain, international market intelligence provider Kpler said Tuesday.

The tanker AGIOI FANENDES loaded ultra-low sulfur diesel at Russia's Primorsk port on Oct. 23 and initially listed New York as its destination, with an expected arrival date of Nov. 7, Kpler said. However, its Automatic Identification System (AIS) destination was subsequently changed to "FOR ORDERS."
