Transneft to start fuel exports after getting documents from govt

MOSCOW, Oct 6 (PRIME) -- Russian oil pipeline monopoly Transneft will start exports of diesel fuel after receiving documents from the government and once the shippers are ready, aide to the president Igor Dyomin told PRIME on Friday.

"The company will proceed with exports through the infrastructure in ports as soon as it receives the necessary documents from the government, the Energy Ministry of Russia, and when the cargo consignors are ready," Dyomin said.

Earlier in the day, the government allowed companies that supply at least 50% of the produced diesel fuel to the national market to export diesel fuel via pipelines.
