Overview

• LSEG data shows the Russian-flagged Voskhod anchored at the Tieshan LNG terminal in Guangxi carrying Arctic LNG 2 cargo.
• The tanker loaded about 150,000 cubic metres of LNG at Gydan in northern Siberia on July 19, according to LSEG.
• This marks the second known delivery to China after the sanctioned Arctic Mulan reached the Beihai terminal in late August.
• Bloomberg and LSEG tracking indicate at least three more Arctic LNG 2 vessels are heading toward China, with two off Kamchatka and one in the South China Sea.
• Reuters has not confirmed that the Voskhod discharged its cargo, as the project continues to face sanctions pressure and a shortage of ice-class carriers.
