KYIV. Sept 5 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Socar Ukraine Trading House has started the deliveries of diesel fuel produced by Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat (Russia) to Ukraine, the Socar press service has reported.
“Socar Ukraine buys diesel from Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat through an intermediary – LVK Centre ltd (Britain). As of September 4 the first 700 tonnes of fuel had been delivered.
“This contract allows diversifying the supply of diesel fuel and thus eliminating the monopoly position of another supplier of diesel fuel in the Ukrainian market. The market for the first time in three years received additional resources that are in demand in such sectors as agriculture, transport and heavy industry,” Socar said.
Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat owns one of Russia’s largest oil refining and petrochemical production complexes located in Salavat (Bashkortostan).
Socar owns a network of more than 50 fuel filling stations in Ukraine.
