A RUR 890m ($12.1m) subsidy has been granted by the Russian government towards the cost of building what will be the second in a fleet of 21 ice-breaking LNG carriers being constructed for the Novatek-led Arctic LNG 2 project.
The government said the cash is from the Development of Shipbuilding and Equipment for Exploring Sea Shelf Deposits State Program and will be paid from the reserve fund to complete the second stage of the work on the vessel.
