As reported Kommersant, the notice of force majeure that NOVATEK sent to customers is a consequence of the US sanctions imposed in November regarding Arctic LNG-2.
These are the first US sanctions aimed directly against the plant yes for LNG export from Russia, and the consequences of these measures for the fate of the project are still unclear, the publication clarifies.
So, the main problem that the sanctions are creating at the moment is the difficulty in organizing the charter of tankers for export Arctic LNG-2 products .
It is noted that the force majeure event itself does not mean that NOVATEK will definitely not make shipments to customers, but it protects the company from possible claims in the event of a disruption in deliveries.
