Bloomberg reported the information.It is noted that the tanker Voskhod, transporting cargo from the Arctic LNG 2 plant, docked at the Beihai import terminal in southern China.The first batch from Arctic LNG 2 arrived in China at the end of August. This happened just before the visit of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, during which the countries solidified their energy relations with a number of agreements.Bloomberg recalled that the Arctic LNG 2 project faced difficulties in finding buyers after the administration of former U.S. President Joe Biden added it to the sanctions list in 2023.According to the authors, at least three more vessels from Arctic LNG 2 are on their way to China. Other deliveries may take longer because ice has formed on the Northern Sea Route, complicating the passage of traditional ships along the shorter route to Asia.Earlier, it was reported that Chinese oil refineries placed new orders for Russian crude oil, which will be shipped from ports that usually supplied it to India.
