Supertanker delivers oil to sanctioned Nayara Energy's Vadinar refinery, sources say
SINGAPORE/NEW DELHI, July 30 (Reuters) - Supertanker Kalliopi was in the process of discharging Iraqi oil for India's Nayara Energy on Wednesday, the first delivery of crude for the refiner since it was sanctioned by the European Union, five sources familiar with the matter said. More than half of the two million barrels of Basrah volume on board the vessel had been discharged, one of the sources said, with the unloading expected to be completed on Thursday, a second source said. The supertanker is the first to deliver crude to Nayara's Vadinar refinery in the past 12 days, Kpler ship-tracking data showed. Nayara did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. The EU unveiled new sanctions on Russia and its energy trade that targeted the company on July 18. Another tanker, Nusa Merdeka, has delayed discharging Russian crude oil at Nayara's port, one of the sources said. The tanker was scheduled to discharge Urals on July 26 at Vadinar but has since been hovering near the anchorage, the person said. It was not immediately clear why the tanker did not discharge on schedule. Last week, the oil tanker Omni carrying Russian Urals crude diverted away from Nayara Energy's Vadinar port to discharge its cargo at the port of Mundra in India. Nayara, which is majority owned by Russian companies, has reduced crude runs at its 400,000 barrels-per-day site to 70-80%, Reuters reported on Tuesday. Meanwhile, product tankers carrying fuel loaded from Nayara Energy's Vadinar site are afloat without discharging cargoes as shippers and traders avoid dealing with it.

EU-Sanctioned Nayara Energy Set to Receive Iraqi Crude This Week
A supertanker is set to deliver Iraqi crude to India's Nayara Energy in the next day or two, in what shippers say will be the first discharge of non-Russian oil since the refiner was sanctioned by the European Union. The Kalliopi, a very-large crude carrier, is currently heading to Vadinar port with about two million barrels of Iraqi crude, according to shipbrokers and ship-tracking data. The shipment, which is expected to arrive late on July 28, is meant for Nayara, the shipbrokers added.

Electronic Warfare Crashes Global Shipping's Navigation Systems
Konstantinos Tsotras was captaining his oil supertanker through the Persian Gulf at the height of Israel's strikes on Iran when it disappeared from his own navigation screen. For the ship's managers thousands of miles away, it appeared — impossibly — to be on a hilltop near an Iranian gas field. The Greek captain knew immediately what was happening to the Nissos Nikouria, a 330-meter (1,083-foot) vessel that along with its cargo of Kuwaiti crude was worth about $260 million. His electronic navigation systems had been interfered with, something that happened thousands of times to vessels during the conflict.
