China has received its tenth shipment of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Russia’s Arctic LNG 2 project, according to data from LSEG and Kpler, despite ongoing U.S. and EU sanctions targeting the project. The Arctic Mulan tanker, also subject to Western sanctions, arrived at the Beihai LNG Terminal in Guangxi on October 17, as shown by Kpler data. Registered owner Zinnia International and commercial manager Skyhart Management Services, both based in India according to shipping database Equasis, oversaw the vessel.

The tanker had loaded its cargo from the Koryak floating storage unit in Kamchatka, eastern Russia, on October 4—a facility dedicated exclusively to Arctic LNG 2 shipments. The Arctic Mulan departed the Beihai terminal the following day.

PipeChina, which operates the Beihai LNG Terminal, has not responded to Reuters requests for comment.

Arctic LNG 2 was originally planned to be one of Russia’s largest LNG plants, with an annual production capacity of 19.8 million metric tons, before being targeted by U.S. sanctions in response to Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.
