An LNG carrier is on course for Russia’s new Portovaya LNG plant on the Baltic Sea coast as the recently started up liquefaction facility prepares to export a first cargo.
Eikland Energy’s iGIS/LNG detailed that the 170,000-cbm Pskov (built 2014) is heading directly for the 1.5-million tonnes per annum capacity plant near Vyborg.
TradeWinds reported in June that Pskov had been redelivered by German state-controlled Gazprom Germania to Russian shipowner Sovcomflot to comply with European sanctions against Russia.
