MOSCOW. April 25 (Interfax) - Sovcomflot ships nearly 14% of the overall volume of energy exports from Russian seaports, Sovcomflot CEO Igor Tonkovidov said at the National Oil and Gas Forum.

According to the presentation, the volume of oil and gas exports from Russian ports totaled 299.85 million tonnes in 2022, of which Sovcomflot transported 41.7 million tonnes, or 13.9%.
