MOSCOW, April 4 (Reuters) - The Caspian Pipeline
Consortium (CPC) said on Friday that a Russian court had fined
it 200,000 roubles ($2,370) over oil transhipment irregularities
but ruled that its Black Sea export terminal facilities should
not be suspended.
Russia's transport regulator this month ordered CPC,
shareholders of which include Chevron ( CVX ) and Exxon Mobil ( XOM )
, to suspend operations at two of the three moorings at
its Black Sea export terminal after snap inspections related to
a massive oil products spill in December.
The court, having considered the inspection, ruled to hold
the Russian part of the CPC consortium liable and imposed an
administrative fine of 200,000 rubles without suspension, CPC
said.
