Baltic Sea · Tanker Terminal
Russia is not under a country-wide US embargo, but it is under broad list-based and sectoral sanctions: OFAC's Russia programme (E.O. 14024), the US import bans and the G7 oil price cap (E.O. 14066 and 14071), the EU's successive sanctions packages and UK measures. Hundreds of vessels in the Russian oil trade are individually designated by the US, EU or UK. Screen the vessel, its owner and its cargo; the port call alone does not tell you whether a voyage is prohibited.

Listed area
Primorsk is inside a Joint War Committee listed area (circular JWLA-035, 16 September 2026):
A call here normally needs prior notice to war underwriters and may carry an additional premium; how the listing applies is agreed contract by contract.

Primorsk in Russia operates in a semi-enclosed shallow basin with seasonal ice and the strictest environmental regime in commercial shipping. December–April ice coverage requires vessels to meet Finnish-Swedish Ice Class for independent navigation or rely on icebreaker escort, and ice-edge position varies enough between years that conventional deterministic routing models fail. Since 2022, Russia's invasion of Ukraine has transformed the security architecture: NATO maritime presence has increased substantially, and sanctions against Russian energy exports have disrupted traditional traffic patterns. The Baltic is also a designated Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA) and Sulphur Emission Control Area (SECA), requiring low-sulphur fuel or exhaust gas cleaning systems.
Routed sea distances from Primorsk to the principal global hubs, computed by ArcNautical's routing engine — around land and through the canals a ship actually uses, not great-circle.
Russia is a multi-MoU jurisdiction (its port states participate in more than one regional PSC programme). Vessel-level detention probability for calls at Primorsk is computed by ArcNautical's scoring engine using flag performance, vessel age, deficiency history, and ownership opacity rather than a regional aggregate.
Limited port-call data — fewer than 10 distinct vessels observed at Primorsk between 29 Apr 2026 and 5 Aug 2026. ArcNautical does not publish a vessel-type breakdown for low-traffic ports to avoid statistically misleading percentages. The feed has delivered no positions since 5 Aug 2026, so these figures will not change until it resumes.
