Zvezda Shipyard will not be able to deliver the lead tanker Arc7 for the Arctic LNG-2 project to Novatek until the end of 2024, expecting delivery in early 2025. Second tanker will also be handed over in the first quarter of 2025. Novatek may need the tankers as early as this winter, but this depends on the success of finding buyers for the cargoes. So far, only eight shipments from Arctic LNG-2 have been made, none of which have reached the end consumer. Most of the cargoes are stored in floating storage facilities and gas carriers.
