Arctic LNG 2 ships 13th cargo this year by end-October

SINGAPORE, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Russia's Arctic LNG 2 project has sent out another shipment of liquefied natural gas, bringing its total number of dispatched cargoes this year to 13, as the project continues output despite Western sanctions over Moscow's war in Ukraine.

The Zarya tanker was the latest to pick up a cargo from the sanctioned project between October 30 and November 1, according to data from analytics firms LSEG and Kpler. Shipping database Equasis lists the tanker's registered owner and its ship or commercial manager as Kantat, with registered addresses in Moscow.

Arctic LNG 2 had been set to become one of Russia's largest LNG plants, with eventual output of 19.8 million metric tons a year, before it was placed under U.S. sanctions.

It has delivered 13 cargoes to China's Beihai terminal in the southern region of Guangxi this year.

Below are the tankers that have picked up LNG cargoes from the Arctic LNG 2 project in 2025, according to Kpler data:

Reuters could not find contact information for the registered owner and ship or commercial manager of each tanker at the time of its loading at Arctic LNG 2.
