good reporting here- Morgan Stanley not sure where Europe will get diesel, post Russian embargo Jun. 07, 2022 12:44 PM ETPSX, MPC, VLO, REPYY, SAAFY, NTOIF, STNG, USO By: Nathan Allen, SA News Editor Europe has announced measures to phase out Russian oil (USO) imports in 2022; however, the impact on global supply and demand could be limited, as seaborne exports re-route to other markets. Importantly, Europe also plans to ban distillate imports (heating oil, diesel, jet fuel); a much more niche seaborne product. Over 50% of crude is sold on the seaborne market, with ships frequently traveling between continents on average voyages lasting 28 days; only 25% of global distillate production is sold on the seaborne market, via shorter regional routes lasting on average 15 days, according to Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley's concern, which the bank shared in a note Tuesday, is that Russia accounts for the vast majority of European distillate imports, while the remaining imports sail from destinations in the Middle East and India. As Europe phases out Russian distillate imports, shipping markets may be unable to provide the required transport to re-route Russian volumes, leading Russian refiners to reduce runs and further decrease global distillate supplies. It's an interesting hypothesis -- product tankers like Scorpio (STNG) would stand to benefit, as would European refiners like Neste (OTCPK:NTOIF), Saras (OTCPK:SAAFY) and Repsol (OTCQX:REPYY); less directly, US refiners like Valero (VLO), Marathon (MPC) and Philips (PSX) would benefit from reduced Russian refining runs, likely leading to sustained record profitability in Q2 and beyond.
