Novatek ramping up LNG shipments via NSR to Asia
The northern sea route, which will shorten time to ship cargoes from Russia to Asia, is one advantage Novatek is keen to use to market LNG volumes from its export projects. Novatek expects to bring more LNG to key importers in the Asia-Pacific once all 15 Arc7 ice-class carriers enter into operation
‘Developing further the navigational efficiency via the NSR combined with the construction of LNG transhipment complexes in Kamchatka and Murmansk will optimise the company’s logistics chain’ — Novatek first deputy chairman Lev Feodosyev
