Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) tankers are rerouting to avoid the Mediterranean following an alleged attack by Ukrainian drones on a vessel, according to Jin10. At least three tankers, representing nearly one-fifth of the fleet used for transporting LNG from sanctioned Russian export projects, have altered their course to steer clear of the region. Tracking data indicates that a fourth tanker ceased its journey after entering the area via the Suez Canal.
This development complicates Moscow's efforts to expand its exports and reduces its access to overseas funds. Earlier this month, Moscow reported that the Arctic Metagaz, a vessel used for transporting sanctioned Russian LNG, was attacked near Malta. The crew was evacuated, and satellite images revealed significant damage to the ship's hull.#Russia #LNG #Tankers #Ukraine #DroneAttack #Mediterranean #SuezCanal #Sanctions #EnergyTransport #MaritimeSecurity
