The EU also aims to end all Russian oil imports by 2027, requiring member states to transition to alternative suppliers. While some have proposed lowering the cap further—to around $50 per barrel—any change would require unanimous EU agreement and coordination with the US, making enforcement especially challenging. **An import ban could bolster tonne-mile demand** For shipowners like EMF, evolving trade flows linked to sanctions and the EU’s gradual phase-out of Russian oil could generate more attractive voyage opportunities and boost tonne-mile demand. If implemented, these shifts may tighten vessel supply and support sustained higher freight rates over the long term. Further measures to restrict Russian exports are in development, but enforcement remains a significant challenge Sources: Reuters, IntelliNews, TradeWinds  --- #### Tag: [Tanker Update](https://blog.maritimefinance.ch/en/marketreportweekly/tag/tanker-update) #### Share: - [Follow us on Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://blog.maritimefinance.ch/en/marketreportweekly/eu-debates-further-russian-oil-price-cap) - [Follow us on Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://blog.maritimefinance.ch/en/marketreportweekly/eu-debates-further-russian-oil-price-cap&text=EU%20debates%20further%20Russian%20oil%20price%20cap) - [Follow us on Linkedin](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://blog.maritimefinance.ch/en/marketreportweekly/eu-debates-further-russian-oil-price-cap) - [Follow us on Pinterest](http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://blog.maritimefinance.ch/en/marketreportweekly/eu-debates-further-russian-oil-price-cap&text=EU%20debates%20further%20Russian%20oil%20price%20capdescription=Plans%20are%20underway%20to%20restrict%20Russian%20exports,%20but%20implementation%20could%20prove%20challenging%20In%20response%20to%20the%20war%20in%20Ukraine,%20the%20EU%20and%20G7%20implemented%20a[...]&media=https://143789414.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hubfs/143789414/W25_article_3.jpg) --- #### [Bright expectations despite typically quiet June market Previous Post](https://blog.maritimefinance.ch/en/marketreportweekly/bright-expectations-despite-typically-quiet-june-market?hsLang=en) #### [The Middle East tension – and its ramifications Next Post](https://blog.maritimefinance.ch/en/marketreportweekly/the-middle-east-tension-and-its-ramifications?hsLang=en) --- ## Related Posts It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.
