Mediterranean tankers look set to profit from an increase in flows through the Transalpine Pipeline (TAL) to the Czech Republic (Czechia).
The landlocked nation has ushered in a new era of independence from Russian crude imports via the Druzhba pipeline, with tanker shipments beginning into TAL through the Italian port of Trieste in March.
Shipbroker BRS noted that a payment dispute last month put an end to imports via Druzhba.
