Euro-4 diesel shipments showed record growth, reaching 84,000 tonnes versus 43,000 tonnes in the same period last year. This was primarily due to the large-scale reconstruction of the Taimyr Fuel Company's oil depots in the Norilsk Industrial District and Dudinka and the reduction in fuel storage volumes at oil depots. Stocks were not accumulated during the summer navigation period, and were delivered during the winter period by the Northern Sea Route as needed.
