Russia to Raise Oil Transportation Tariffs

Russia to Raise Oil Transportation Tariffs

The Caspian Pipeline Consortium of Russia, kazakhstan and Oman, is operating at a loss, and the situation can only be rectified by raising oil-shipment tariffs, Semyon Vainshtok, Transeft CEO said Tuesday.

Vainshtok said it is perfectly logical in this context to transfer the management of Russia's 24%-stake in the CTC to Transneft.

"Russia must make a profit," he said, adding the CTC's losses have exceeded $5.5 billion.

"To turn the situation around, we will have to consider sharply raising oil transportation tariffs," he said.

The 935-mile Caspian pipeline links oil fields in western Kazakhstan with Russia's Black Sea coast.
