SOCAR informs that the 600,000 million barrel shipment to sail away from Supsa port of Georgia on November 24-25, 2008 was purchased by British company Arcadia Petroleum.
This year’s first shipment of 60,000 million barrels with sailing away from Supsa on November 11-12 was bought by Taurus Petroleum. The port has not been used for Azeri Light export because of repairs at Baku-Supsa pipeline and instability in Georgia. This year Azeri Light was exported only through Turkey’s Ceyhan port.

The sixth shipment sailed away on November 1-7 was acquired by Sumato Energy (New Zealand), and the seventh – by Taurus Petroleum (sailing away on November 20-25).
In 2007, the Department sold 17 profit oil shipments of Azerbaijan from Turkish port Ceyhan with overall volume of 16.8 million barrels.
By three shipments were bought by Addax B.V. Group (1st, 7th, and 8th), Select Energy GmbH (4th, 5th, and 10th) and Sumato Energy Group Ltd (9th, 15th, and 17th), two by Glencore Energy UK (2nd and 6th), by one by Vilma Oil S.L (3rd), Arcadia Petroleum Ltd (11th), OMV Supply & Trading (12th), Vitol SA (13th), Shell International Trading & Shipping Company Ltd (14th), Exxon-Mobil (16th).

(10%), ITOCHU Oil (3.9205%), Statoil (8.5633%) and TPAO (6.75%).
