MINSK, 8 June (BelTA) – A tanker with U.S. oil for Belarus has arrived at the port of Klaipeda, BelTA learned from spokesman for the Belarusian state petrochemical concern Belneftekhim Aleksandr Tishchenko.

“The tanker carrying 77,000 tonnes of U.S. Bakken oil arrived at the port at 23.00 on 5 June,” Aleksandr Tishchenko said.

The oil will be sent to OAO Naftan by rail.

“This is the 12th tanker delivery from alternative suppliers this year. The total tanker supplies have already exceeded 1 million tonnes,” Aleksandr Tishchenko said.

As BelTA reported earlier, the tanker left the port of Beaumont [Texas] on 16 May. The deal was concluded with the participation of the U.S. energy trader United Energy Trading, and also with the assistance of U.S. firm Getka and their Polish partner UNIMOT.
