First impact
Marine Diesel and Bunker Fuel →Shortage riskThe event directly targets Russian shadow-fleet tanker logistics, so Russia's supplied share of this fuel becomes harder to move and effectively scarcer.
92% confidenceMarine Diesel and Bunker Fuel →Prices riseMarine diesel and bunker fuel is a critical input for fishing and distribution, so disruption-driven fuel cost pressure lifts seafood operating costs and prices.
80% confidenceRosneft →DelaysBoarding a Russian tanker can slow Rosneft’s crude shipments, modestly delaying supply of this input; the impact is tempered by the small market share and some substitutability.
Hop 2
Crude Oil Feedstock →Prices riseCrude oil feedstock is a critical one-for-one input here, so Russian shipping friction should push gasoline and diesel prices higher.
87% confidenceCrude Oil Feedstock →Prices riseHome heating oil also depends critically on crude feedstock, so constrained Russian shipments should raise its cost.
86% confidenceCrude Oil Feedstock →Prices riseWith low substitutability and a six-month replacement lag, Irving Oil is exposed to higher crude feedstock costs when Russian shipping becomes riskier.
Hop 3
Fish Meal and Fish Oil (Aquaculture Feed) →Shortage riskFish meal and fish oil are a critical aquaculture feed input, so a shortage there would constrain seafood and fish production.
86% confidenceHome heating oil →DelaysPipeline & Marine Transport to Northeast Hubs
A boarding-driven chokepoint disruption directly slows and raises risk in the marine transport leg that moves heating oil toward Northeast hubs.
81% confidenceUAN Solution (Urea Ammonium Nitrate, 28-32% N) →DelaysRussia supplies 53.8% of UAN solution, so a chokepoint disruption to Russian shipping can delay deliveries from that dominant source.
