According to Reuters, the cargo delivery took 47 days.

Before the delivery of Novy Port oil, which is extracted on the Yamal peninsula in Russia’s Arctic region, Gazprom Neft has been already using the NSR for European exports.

Since the start of Arctic oil exports in 2013, Gazprom Neft has delivered more than 40Mt of ARCO (Prirazlomnoye field) and Novy Port (Novoportovskoye field) to the European nations.

Gazprom Neft is the third biggest oil company in Russia in terms of output.
