Moscow — Organic chloride content in oil loaded from the Baltic Sea port of Ust-Luga had declined to 2.8 parts per million (ppm) by July 29, within a permitted norm, from 3.1 ppm a week earlier, the Russian energy ministry said on Monday.
Organic chloride levels are being scrutinised following a major oil contamination which was discovered in late April. Levels are expected to range this week from 1.5-3.4 ppm, the ministry said.
