LNG: Transshipments Rise Ahead of EU Ban Next Month
LNG
At least two LNG vessels are waiting outside Belgium’s Zeebrugge to receive cargoes from Russia’s Yamal LNG as transshipments rise ahead of the EU ban, according to Bloomberg ship-tracking.
- The Wen Cheng and Gui Ying vessels both arrived from China but the destinations after loading are not known.
- The Clean Planet already received one transshipment in Belgium earlier this month, taking a cargo originating from Yamal on to Southeast Asia.
- Zeebrugge had one Yamal transshipment per month in November-January, Bloomberg said.
- A European Union ban on the transhipment operations for Russian LNG cargoes in European ports comes into force next month from March 26.
