Vladimir Melekhin also mentions that generally speaking, RN-Vostoknefteproduct and RN- Komsomolsk Oil Refinery are working in a very close contact. If RN-Vostoknefteproduct does not sell our product on time, our refinery can stop its operation, since we have limited storage facilities, - the Director of the Komsomolsk Refinery says, - and in case we do not provide product of needed quality and in demanded quantity, the business of RN-Vostoknefteproduct suffers considerably. But we have been working together for many years and all the details of our interaction have been worked out very well. From my point of view the gasoline we sell at NK Rosneft’s gas stations has a very high quality. I personally fill my tank only at our gas stations .
RN-Vostoknefteproduct LLC has also optimized the delivery of oil products from the refinery to gas stations. The logistics of the fuel delivery has been improved and designed in such way that the number of middlemen has considerably decreased. This prevents deterioration of the fuel and minimizes transportation losses.
