Refinitiv, a shipping data company, said the figure represented a 31 per cent increase on October and was a sign of buyers “snapping up” diesel barrels before 5 February to ensure sufficient stocks for winter.

Figures produced by Vortexa, another London-based shipping data company, showed that diesel imports from Belgian ports to Britain dramatically increased in June to 90,000bpd at the same time as direct Russian imports to the UK began to fall.
