A Malta-flagged, medium-sized tanker named Agioi Fanendes is underway to New York carrying Russian diesel, according to vessel-tracking data compiled by S&P Global Energy Commodities at Sea and published by reports on 25 October 2026.
The movement was reported after comments from the Kremlin indicating Moscow expects deliveries of diesel to the United States to continue "on a regular basis." The Kremlin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, is recorded as having said on 23 October that the first tanker carrying Russian diesel had been sent to the US.

Kremlin statement
On 23 October Dmitry Peskov told reporters that the first tanker carrying Russian diesel had been dispatched to the United States, a development the Kremlin said would not be a one-off. The Kremlin further indicated it expected deliveries to continue "on a regular basis."
The statements from the Kremlin and the S&P Global tracking data were presented together in The report, linking the announced intention with the observed tanker movement.
The route, cargo details beyond the description as diesel and the size designation for Agioi Fanendes were reported by S&P Global and relayed by reports; no additional shipping logistics or commercial details were provided in the report.
The evolving situation was described in the single reports item dated 25 October 2026 and attributed to S&P Global's maritime commodity tracking dataset and Kremlin commentary, as cited above.
