Russia’s Novatek and Sovcomflot have agreed to develop a strategic partnership for transporting LNG and condensate from Novatek’s Yamal LNG plant and its proposed Arctic LNG 2 export project, Novatek said on Thursday.
“Our unique partnership with Sovcomflot will optimise our LNG transport model through the Arctic zone by efficiently and effectively using ice-class tankers,” said Leonid Mikhelson, chairman of Novatek.
