Russia's Yamal LNG resumes ship-to-ship transfers near Murmansk
11/18/2024
Russia's Yamal LNG project resumed ship-to-ship transfer of liquefied natural gas (LNG) near the port of Murmansk in order to free up ice-class tankers, according to LSEG data.
The scheme is used during the winter season, which has just started, when the movement of conventional vessels along the Northern Sea route is restricted by thick ice.
LSEG data showed that an ice class Arc 7 tanker called Nikolay Urvantsev was readying to transfer LNG to a conventional gas carrier Wen Cheng near the island of Kildin in the Barents Sea for further exports.
Wen Cheng was built in 2023 at Chinese shipyard Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding.
