First LNG cargo delivered via northern sea route to Japan
Russia’s privately owned liquefied natural gas producer Novatek delivered its first cargo to Japan via the northern sea route at the weekend. This marks the first unloading of a cargo from an Arc7 ice-class tanker at a Japanese port
The cargo delivery, which took place last week, marks another step forward to fulfilling northern sea route’s promise to shorten shipping distance and time between Russia and Asia-Pacific
