Only one of three tankers carrying Russian diesel still appears bound for US

The divergence in these tankers' routes suggests the Russian diesel flows flagged earlier this year are proving less firm than initial tracking implied, with ship-level AIS data now telling a more cautious story than the original US-bound plans. This matters most for East Coast refiners and fuel traders who had been counting on those cargoes, and for the sanctions and shipping-compliance teams tracking whether Russian-origin product keeps finding US buyers. The open question is whether the two diverted vessels represent isolated rerouting or the start of a broader pullback; Windward's vessel-by-vessel tracking is the signal to keep watching rather than any single cargo.
