CPC compensates damage from oil spill at Novorossiysk port

The Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) has compensated damage caused to the Black Sea by an oil spill at the Novorossiysk port without court intervention.

Rosprirodnadzor estimated the damage at 179.298 million rubles.

"The supervision authority established that 8.43 cubic meters or 6.7 tonnes of oil had been irretrievably lost while clearing the damage caused by the oil spill. On September 8, 2025, a mandate was sent to the management of the CPC to compensate the damage voluntarily," the statement reads.

As reported, the emergency situation occurred on August 29 during a cargo operation on the tanker T. Semahat via the hoses of the remote mooring facility N2, resulting in a certain amount of oil reaching the sea's surface. The damage at the sea terminal was fully cleared by August 30.
