The liquefied natural gas terminal Lithuania built five years ago to reduce its dependence on Russian fuel is about to get its first Siberian cargo.

The cargo will arrive at the facility, symbolically named Independence, next week on board the Stena Clear Sky, according to ship-tracking data on Bloomberg. That vessel loaded it at France’s Montoir terminal from another tanker that had in turn taken it from a Russian ship in Zeebrugge in Belgium.
