The US has imposed sanctions on seven liquefied natural gas carriers linked to Russia, including vessels believed to have loaded at its newest export facility in the Arctic region.
LNG vessels included Pioneer and Asya Energy, which loaded the first two shipments from the Arctic LNG 2 project previously sanctioned by the US, according to a list published Friday by the US Department of the Treasury.
