Syrian trade surges nearly sixfold a year after government takeover
- In December 2025 Syria’s seaborne trade increased by 769% compared to December 2024, when the civil war ended
- Experts say that we can expect an ongoing flow of crude and oil products in addition to dry cargo as the country tries to rebuild
- Russia remains the main crude oil supplier to Syria, while the amount of cargo going to the country from EU countries continues to increase
Syria’s traceable maritime traffic has peaked to its highest level since the civil war ended and sanctions were gradually lifted, as the country’s need for crude oil and LPG is increasing
