The European Union has implemented new sanctions prohibiting services to Russian icebreakers and LNG transporters, effective January 2027. This includes mandatory inspections for the sale of tankers and a ban on technical services for 46 vessels linked to the Russian shadow fleet.
Additionally, operations involving the Russian ports of Murmansk and Tuapse, as well as Indonesia's Karimun port, are restricted. In 2025, approximately 20 billion cubic meters of LNG from the Yamal LNG project were exempt from sanctions, but this volume is expected to redirect to markets facing gas supply challenges. The situation in the Persian Gulf could further complicate European compliance with these sanctions and increase costs.
