Russian firm GazpromNeft Marine Bunker LLC. has announced that it has begun supplying marine fuel to customers at the Black Sea port of Tuapse.

Speaking to Bunker Index, the bunker supplier said that it carried out its first delivery at Tuapse on December 24th using its own barge the Gazpromneft West.
