For the first time in many years, the Yamal LNG LNG plant approached winter without launching side-to-side transshipment operations off Kildin Island, although due to the ban on such operations in Europe, it should have already started. Lack of transshipment does not affect the current shipping schedule yet: Arc4 tankers continue to sail to Sabetta under the escort of icebreakers. However, the key moment will come in December — ice conditions in the port will make entry of the Arc4 impossible even with wiring, and then the lack of transshipment can lead to disruptions.
