Indonesia took delivery of about 770,000 barrels of Russian crude on June 29, the first shipment since the countries struck a supply agreement in April, customs data show. The cargo, valued at roughly $75m, was loaded at Kozmino and carried by tanker "Sella" to Balikpapan. The shipment suggests Moscow is expanding its buyer base amid firmer oil prices after the Iran conflict. Ship‑tracking data show sporadic earlier cargoes from Russia’s Far East this year and last, typically Sakhalin and ESPO-grade barrels. Russian crude flows have been closely monitored since the 2022 Russia‑Ukraine war amid Western restrictions.
