Russian Gazprom has delivered a cargo of LNG from the Portovaya plant to China for the first time since the introduction of US sanctions against the project in January.
It was reported by ExPro, citing Reuters.
The report says that the Valera gas carrier (formerly known as Velikiy Novgorod) delivered the cargo from a plant in the Baltic Sea to the Beihai LNG terminal.
According to tracking data, the tanker was loaded at the Portovaya terminal on October 28 and arrived at the port of Teshan in southern China.
It is noted that russia's largest LNG producer Novatek uses the same terminal in China to unload shipments from the sanctioned Arctic LNG 2 plant.
Exports from the Portovaya plant were suspended in February this year after the introduction of US sanctions.
The medium-tonnage Portovaya LNG plant with a capacity of 1.5 million tons (about 2.1 billion cubic meters) of LNG per year was launched in September 2022.
In the initial stages, most of the cargo from the plant was delivered to Turkey and Greece, and later the geography of supplies expanded to China, Spain and Italy.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, sea shipments of russian crude oil have sharply decreased - the most since January 2024 - as new US sanctions have forced key buyers to refrain from purchasing oil from moscow.
