Gazprom sends second LNG shipment from Portovaya plant to China

The first cargo from the plant after a hiatus was delivered to the terminal last December. Another of Russia's sanctioned plants, Arctic LNG 2, also supplies LNG to Beihai.

Before the sanctions, Portovaya shipped two cargoes a month on average during winter. Since March 2025, beyond the two shipments to China, it has been sending one cargo per month to the Russian western exclave of Kaliningrad.

In the early stages of its operations, most cargoes from Portovaya were delivered to Turkey and Greece with markets subsequently widening to China, Spain and Italy.
