Russian authorities hope the route will increase oil and gas deliveries to Asia.
MOSCOW: Russian energy giant Gazprom said today it has made a first delivery of liquefied natural gas to China via the Arctic Northern Sea Route as receding ice sheets render the route more viable.
“Gazprom has for the first time delivered its own LNG production along the Northern Sea Route,” the company said in a statement. Gazprom said LNG carrier Velikiy Novgorod, which left the LNG terminal at Portovaya outside the western city of St Petersburg on Aug 14, finished discharging its cargo today at the northeastern Chinese port of Tangshan in Hebei province.
