Abstract
- A liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker that recently docked at the sanctioned Arctic LNG-2 export facility in Russia is now heading towards Europe, according to ship tracking data. The tanker, named Pioneer, is currently moving southwest from the Barents Sea and its destination is listed as "for orders." It is unclear whether the tanker will unload in Europe or continue to other locations. Traders are closely monitoring the tanker's movements and destination, as it is uncertain who purchased the cargo from the sanctioned project. The tanker is part of a suspected "dark fleet" of vessels that Russia is assembling to transport gas cargoes to potential buyers. The US government imposed sanctions on Arctic LNG-2 last year, preventing the project from exporting. [Extracted from the article]
