NEW DELHI/LONDON, April 6 (Reuters) - Global fuel suppliers are turning to longer and costlier routes that produce more carbon emissions to move their diesel and other products as Western restrictions on Russian cargoes have reshuffled global energy shipping patterns.
The ban comes on top of a halt late last year on Russian crude sales into the bloc as well as Western price caps.
Also in March, Russian clean products shipped to Togo reached 973 million MT-NM, up from zero in November.
Conversely, Russian exports to the Netherlands dropped to 238,200 tonnes in February from 1.15 million tonnes in September.
Those longer distances are being done at higher costs for Russian products than for typical shipments from Europe.
