Russia will set equal oil transportation tariffs for Baltic ports of Ust-Luga and Primorsk in April or May, a spokesman for oil pipeline monopoly Transneft said Monday.
"Leveling out of pumping tariffs [to Ust-Luga and Primorsk] should happen in the nearest future, I think in April or May," Igor Dyomin said.
In February, Russia's Federal Tariffs Service said it would allow Transneft to take 10,621 rubles ($360) to load 100 tons of oil at Ust-Luga, which was launched last month. Ust-Luga is scheduled to load 10 cargoes of crude oil this month and 15 more in May.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
