DMEA: Turkish oil terminal refuses imports of Russian oil

Turkey’s Dortyol oil terminal – located in the Mediterranean Sea – has stopped accepting Russian oil as pressure from US sanctions increases.

Global Terminal Services (GTS) – the operator of Dortyol terminal – told Reuters that "GTS decided to cut all possible connections to Russian oil and declared accordingly to its customers in late February 2024 that even if there is no breach of any laws, regulations or sanctions, it would not accept any product of Russian origin or any products loaded from Russian ports as an additional measure to the sanction rules in effect."
