Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Kusto

In a significant escalation on September 12, 2025, the oil-loading facility at Primorsk port in the Baltic Sea, operated by Russia, became the scene of drone attacks launched by Ukraine. The event resulted in damage to multiple tankers, notably the 'Kusto', which suffered significant impacts from the assault. The incident led to a fire outbreak and a temporary halt in loading operations at the terminal. The Aframax tanker 'Cai Yun' was also caught in the crossfire, igniting upon sustaining damage during the drone strikes. Authorities in Russia's Leningrad region later reported that both the vessel and a nearby pumping station had caught fire, but assured that the situation was quickly contained and there was no immediate threat of an oil spill.
