Freud

Four Greek-managed oil tankers were allegedly attacked by drones near Russia’s Black Sea terminal, the Caspian Pipeline Consortium Yuzhnaya Ozereyevka terminal near Novorossyisk, on Jan 13, 2026. The involved ships were the 'Delta Harmony' (IMO: 9408463), which was expected to load oil from Tengizchevroil, and on which a small fire broke out, which was quickly extinguished, the 'Matilda' (IMO: 9407457), which was hit by two drones while sailing in ballast condition about 30 nautical miles off the CPC terminal, and which was expected to load from Karachaganak, the 'Freud' and the 'Delta Supreme' (IMO: 9585895). On Jan 18, the 'Freud' transiting the Bosphorus with visible damage to its starboard side foreship. It then dropped anchor in pos. 40° 36' N 027° 07 E in the Sea of Marmara. At the Russian terminal in Novorossiysk, the 'Freud' was hit. The tanker was waiting to load crude oil at the Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal along with two other vessels. The vessel suffered limited damage. The 'Freud' has sinxe left Russian waters towards the Eastern Mediterranean, scheduled to arrive in Trieste on Jan 20. The vessel was carrying CPC Blend, a blend of mostly Kazakh crude oil essential for fueling the Transalpine pipeline that departs from the Siot terminal. The management of the 'Matilda', the Thenamaris, confirmed that the vessel was struck by drone(s) while at the roads of Novorossiysk (CPC Terminal). The authorities were immediately informed of the incident. All crew members were safe, and there were no reported injuries. As per initial assessment, the ship appeared to have suffered minor damage on deck only. There was no reported pollution, and the vessel remained fully seaworthy. The Greek company remained in contact with the ship’s Master and all relevant authorities. The CPC offshore terminal at Russia’s port of Novorossiysk handles more than 1% of the global oil supply and nearly 80% of Kazakhstan’s exports. CPC moves crude from western Kazakhstan to a terminal near Novorossiysk, where tankers carry it to global markets. In early December a strike on one of the three single-point moorings operated by the terminal put it out of service.
