Russia Set to Keep LNG Flowing to China Despite UK Sanctions

Blacklisted Russian liquefied natural gas shipments are poised to keep entering China as both countries seem prepared to circumvent the UK’s latest sanctions.

The UK on Wednesday imposed restrictions on the Beihai LNG terminal in southern China, citing its imports of fuel from a sanctioned Russian facility. However, at least one shipment is currently en route to the unit, with another vessel waiting offshore, ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg show.
