A large vessel docked at Russia’s liquefied natural gas export plant in the Arctic last week, according to satellite images, in what appears to be the first move to circumvent US sanctions against the facility.

Novatek PJSC, which leads the facility, has not commented on the arrival of a vessel, and the images, taken by the Sentinel 2 satellite, do not confirm LNG is being loaded.
