LNG

The Zvezda Shipyard in the Russian Far East is moving ahead into a new era with the first ever construction programme for liquefied natural gas carriers, ordered for the Arctic LNG II export project in northern Siberia.

Russian shipping line SCF Group and a Russian financial institution signed an agreement for lease-financing of the first ship in a series of ice-breaking liquefied natural gas carriers expected to be built to serve the Arctic LNG II project in northern Siberia.
