This was reported by Alexander Sirenko, an analyst at the consulting company UPECO, which specializes in research on energy markets.
According to him, for the first time in eight years, a tanker carrying liquefied gas, which is a mixture of propane and butane, entered Ukraine. Previously, as the expert noted, the country's transshipment complexes were only engaged in loading autogas from land onto sea vessels. However, on September 18, a Ukrainian importer delivered 2.5 thousand tons of this fuel from Egypt and unloaded it at a terminal located in Chornomorsk, a city formerly known as Ilyichevsk, situated in the Odesa region.
The supplier of autogas was the Egyptian company Egyptian Bharaini Derivatives Company, and the importer to Ukraine was the firm Gaztron Ukraine.
