Russian Tankers Carrying Gas and Oil Head to Cuba

Russian tankers carrying natural gas and crude oil are heading to Cuba, according to the Financial Times. The Sea Horse tanker, flagged in Hong Kong, is expected to arrive on Monday carrying Russian natural gas, while the Russian ship Anatoly Kolodkin, carrying crude oil, is expected on April 4th. This information comes from Samir Madani, co-founder of TankerTrackers.com, an online vessel tracking service. This move suggests a strengthening of trade ties between Russia and Cuba, particularly in the energy sector. Reuters was unable to verify the information. Cuba faces chronic fuel and energy shortages, making reliance on imports crucial.
