Sanctioned Russian LNG Tankers Avoid Mediterranean After Attack

US-sanctioned Russian liquefied natural gas vessels are redirecting away from the Mediterranean Sea after one was allegedly attacked by Ukrainian drone boats.

At least three tankers, or just under a fifth of the total fleet used to ferry fuel from blacklisted Russian LNG export projects, have diverted from or avoided the Mediterranean, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg. A fourth has halted after entering the body of water from the Suez Canal, the data shows.
