Urals buyers showing up at Primorsk for late July loading windows

This is my new favorite hobby.

Primorsk is busy again.  The tanker in the middle of the screen is the Minerva Alice, which I will be watching for the next few days and hope to post about.  It is currently en route to Rotterdam and at full capacity (13.9m draught).

via Reuters, 2 July 2012:

But they added that Surgut sold three July Urals cargoes
from the Baltic Sea port of Primorsk with a July 22-23 stem selling at a premium of around 15 cents to dated Brent, a July 24-25 stem slightly cheaper and a July 27-28 cargo at around dated Brent flat.

The buyers of Surgut's short sales have shown up for their loading windows and are currently moored off the island, also center screen.  They currently register draughts in the 8-9m range.  After loading they will reflect similar draughts as the Minerva Alice already underway currently at 12.6 knots.

The Isabella is currently in for loading:
