Mitsui is unable to provide vessels for Arctic LNG 2

Japan's Mitsui OSK Lines cannot provide vessels for Arctic LNG 2 due to US sanctions, the company's head Takeshi Hashimoto said. Mitsui is working with the US and Japanese governments to find a solution to this problem, the top manager specified. In December 2023, the Sankei newspaper reported that Mitsui withdrew all its employees from the Russian project. Foreign shareholders of Arctic LNG 2 also declared force majeure on their contracts.
