在美国总统唐纳德·特朗普于10月9日宣布与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京签署向美国进口俄罗斯柴油的协议后，一些亲俄社交媒体账号开始声称，一艘俄罗斯油轮已经载着数千桶柴油驶往美国。这艘船实际上运载的是化肥。
Following US President Donald Trump's October 9 announcement of an agreement signed with Russian President Vladimir Putin to import Russian diesel into the United States, a number of pro-Russian social media accounts began claiming that a Russian oil tanker was already carrying thousands of barrels of diesel to the United States. The ship was actually carrying fertiliser.
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普于10月9日周五宣布，他已与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京达成协议，将进口数百万吨俄罗斯柴油。
US President Donald Trump announced on Friday, October 9, that he had reached an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin to import millions of tons of Russian diesel.
特朗普在他的平台“真实社交”（Truth Social）上写道：“俄罗斯将立即向美国和全球市场供应30万吨以上的柴油燃料，在11月期间再供应50万吨，此后立即供应100万吨。此外，根据其柴油炼油厂的状况，俄罗斯随后将在短时间内交付300万吨柴油燃料。”
“Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter. Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel,” Trump wrote on his platform Truth Social.
第二天，亲俄的X平台账号“俄罗斯市场”（Russian Market，其账号为@runews）发文称，在协议达成仅仅一天后，俄罗斯柴油就已经在运往美国的途中。
The next day, the pro-Russian X account Russian Market (which uses the handle @runews) posted that Russian diesel was already being delivered to the United States, scarcely a day after the deal.
该账号声称，“密涅瓦禅”号（Minerva Zen）油气船和化学品船正载着近28万桶来自俄罗斯的柴油……并且目的地是美国。该帖子甚至附上了一张航线地图，从该货物理论上于9月22日在俄罗斯圣彼得堡装载时开始。
The account claimed that the Minerva Zen, an oil and chemical tanker, was carrying close to 280,000 barrels of diesel from Russia… and was bound for the United States. The post even featured a map of the route it was taking, starting with when the cargo was supposedly loaded on September 22 in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
这条假新闻迅速传播开来，出现在不同的帖子中，在X平台上获得了超过5万7千次浏览。它也被尼日利亚的媒体报道。
The fake news spread quickly, appearing in different posts and garnering more than 570,000 views on X. It was also picked up by media outlets in Nigeria.
根据Tanker Trackers网站的说法，这是一艘运载化肥的船然而，这种说法是错误的。“密涅瓦禅”号运载的并非来自俄罗斯的柴油。
A ship carrying fertiliser, according to Tanker Trackers This claim, however, is wrong. The Minerva Zen was not carrying diesel from Russia.
“密涅瓦禅”号是一艘油气船和化学品船（这意味着它既能运载化学产品，也能运载汽油产品），它确实于9月23日离开了圣彼得堡港，这是事实。你可以在能够追踪海上交通的Global Fishing Watch网站上看到这一点。
It is true that the Minerva Zen, an oil and chemical tanker (which means it is equipped to carry chemical products as well as petrol products), did leave the port in Saint Petersburg on September 23. You can see this on the site Global Fishing Watch, a site that makes it possible to follow marine traffic.
另一个在全球范围内追踪船舶的网站MarineTraffic显示，“密涅瓦禅”号于10月11日至12日夜间停靠在北卡罗来纳州威尔明顿。
MarineTraffic, another site that tracks ships across the globe, shows that the Minerva Zen docked in Wilmington, North Carolina on the night of October 11 to 12.
N24观察员团队（FRANCE 24 Observers）采访了专门追踪油轮的Tankertrackers.com公司，该公司表示，“密涅瓦禅”号运载的不是柴油而是化肥，具体而言是尿素硝酸铵（UAN）。这一信息得到了经济情报公司Vortexa的证实。
The FRANCE 24 Observers team spoke to Tankertrackers.com, a company specialised in tracking oil tankers in particular, who said that the Minerva Zen wasn’t carrying diesel but fertiliser, specifically urea ammonium nitrate (UAN). This information was confirmed by the economic intelligence company Vortexa.
Tanker Trackers表示：“当美国在2022年2月/3月对俄罗斯实施制裁时，他们禁止进口原油、燃料油、液化天然气等碳氢化合物，但他们允许进口化肥。”
“When the US imposed sanctions on Russia back in February/March 2022, they banned the import of hydrocarbons such as crude oil, fuel oil, LNG, etc., but they allowed fertiliser,” Tanker Trackers said.
正如你在一个记录进口情况的网站上所看到的，俄罗斯化肥在今年6月也曾被进口到威尔明顿。6月份的货物被运送给了一家名为Eurochem North America的公司，该公司专门从事化肥生产。据Tankertrackers称，10月12日的货运目的地也是Eurochem North America。
As you can see on a site that records imports, Russian fertiliser was also imported into Wilmington back in June. The June cargo was delivered to a company called Eurochem North America, which specialises in fertiliser production. According to Tankertrackers, the October 12 delivery was also bound for Eurochem North America.
货物并未在港口的汽油码头卸载另一个支持“密涅瓦禅”号并未运载柴油这一信息的证据是，该油轮并未在位于威尔明顿港南部的该港口“Apex Oil Co Wilmington”汽油码头卸货。
Cargo not unloaded in the port’s petrol terminal Another supporting the information that the Minerva Zen was not carrying diesel is that the tanker was not unloaded in the port’s "Apex Oil Co Wilmington" petrol terminal, which is located to the south of Wilmington port.
根据MarineTraffic收集的数据，该油轮是在位于港口北部的“NSCPA”码头卸货的。这个码头是卸载农产品、化学产品以及集装箱的地方。
According to the data gathered by MarineTraffic, the tanker was unloaded in the “NSCPA” Terminal located to the north of the port. This terminal is where agricultural and chemical products as well as containers are unloaded.
最后，“密涅瓦禅”号的拥有公司Minerva Marine向美国当地电视台Wwaytv3表示，该油轮运载的是尿素硝酸铵，而不是柴油。
Finally, Minerva Marine, the company that owns the Minerva Zen, told US local TV station Wwaytv3 that the tanker was carrying urea ammonium nitrate, not diesel.
