Arrival of the Zarya LNG Tanker in China
BEIJING (Reuters) -A third tanker carrying liquefied natural gas from Russia's sanctioned Arctic LNG 2 project arrived at a Chinese port on Tuesday, ship-tracking data showed.
Details of the Cargo
The sanctioned Russian LNG tanker Zarya arrived at Tieshan LNG Terminal in China's southwestern province of Guangxi, according to ship-tracking data provider Kpler and LSEG.
The cargo size is more than 160,000 cubic meters, loaded up at the Arctic LNG 2 facility in Gydan in northern Siberia on July 30, LSEG data showed.
Background on Arctic LNG 2
The first cargo from the sanctioned project, carried by the Arctic Mulan tanker, arrived at the Beihai LNG terminal in late August.
A second cargo arrived in China over the weekend, just days after Russian President Vladimir Putin's high-profile trip to China for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit and a military parade to celebrate the end of World War II.
Arctic LNG 2, 60%-owned by Russia's Novatek, was set to become one of the country's largest LNG plants, with a target output of 19.8 million metric tons per year, but sanctions have clouded its prospects.
