German shipping giant Oldendorff sails close to wind on Russian coal

Nevertheless, Oldendorff insures numerous bulk carriers with the UK P&I Club. Its staff surely read the circulars. Yet eight ships from its fleet have now transported a total of 654 kilotonnes of coal from Russia since sanctions kicked in. As of September 1, three of these shipments appeared to have been delivered to destinations including Turkey and Morocco, while the other five were still in transit...
