The Belarusian state-owned company Gomeltransneft Druzhba asked the Russian Transneft to increase the tariff for pumping oil through the Druzhba pipeline by 39% from January 1, 2023. The company justified it by the expected halving of cargo turnover through their system from the beginning of next year. "Gomeltransneft Druzhba" has become the second company in the last two days to ask Transneft to increase the tariff for oil transit. The first was Ukrtransnafta.
