俄羅斯液化天然氣生產商諾瓦泰克公司日前宣布，其全資子公司諾瓦泰克亞洲天然氣和電力公司已將亞馬爾液化天然氣項目的首批貨物運往日本。

諾瓦泰克表示，液化天然氣已通過北海航線(NSR)向東運輸。

亞馬爾液化天然氣項目位于俄羅斯亞馬爾半島的薩貝塔附近。

諾瓦泰克公司通過其子公司亞馬爾液化天然氣公司執行該項目。

第一批運往日本的貨物是根據現貨合同由“弗拉基米爾·魯薩諾夫”號船上交付的。按照合同交貨時間表，在日本大島液化天然氣接收站卸貨。

諾瓦泰克表示，這批液化天然氣貨物是該公司首次在日本港口卸載Arc7破冰船液化天然氣。

諾瓦泰克管理委員會副主席Lev Feodosyev表示:“我們非常關注開發和加強我們液化天然氣項目的物流方案。

“未來在勘察加半島啟動一個轉運碼頭，將極大地擴大我們向整個亞太地區提供具有成本競爭力的液化天然氣的機會。”

去年12月，諾瓦泰克宣布從亞馬爾液化天然氣項目向孟加拉國交付首批液化天然氣。這批貨物是與法國能源公司道達爾簽訂的長期承購協議的一部分。

Russian firm Novatek delivers first natural gas to Japan via NSR

Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) producer Novatek has announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Novatek Gas & Power Asia had shipped first cargo from the Yamal LNG project to Japan.

Novatek said that the LNG has been transported eastbound through the Northern Sea Route (NSR).

The Yamal LNG project is located near Sabetta in the Yamal peninsula in Russia.

Novatek executes the project through its subsidiary Yamal LNG.

The first-ever cargo to Japan was delivered on board the Vladimir Rusanov under a spot contract. It was unloaded at Japan’s Ohgishima LNG Terminal, in line with the delivery schedule of the contract.

Novatek said that the LNG cargo is the company’s first experience of unloading an Arc7 icebreaking LNG carrier at a Japanese port.

Novatek management board deputy chairman Lev Feodosyev said: “We focus a significant amount of attention to develop and enhance the logistical scheme for our LNG projects.

“The future launch of a transhipment terminal in Kamchatka will significantly expand our opportunities to cost competitively deliver and supply LNG to the entire Asia-Pacific region.”

In December last year, Novatek announced the delivery of first LNG cargo from Yamal LNG project to Bangladesh. This shipment was made as part of the long-term offtake agreement with French energy firm Total.
