The Cradle
A tanker transporting Mexican crude oil for Japan’s Cosmo Oil, a subsidiary of Cosmo Energy, is expected to arrive in Japan as early as Friday, the country’s industry ministry said on Wednesday, offering an alternative source of crude to supplies from West Asia.
According to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), the shipment will be the first delivery of Mexican crude to Japan since the US-Israeli war on Iran began in late February.
The tanker is scheduled to reach the Yokkaichi refinery in central Japan as early as Friday before continuing to the Chiba refinery near Tokyo.
The vessel sailed from the Gulf of Mexico, taking the route around the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa.
