Trotz Lieferstopp wird Russland über Umwege zum drittgrößten LNG-Lieferanten Europas.
Die EU und vor allem Deutschland haben die Abhängigkeit von Erdgas aus Russland stark verringert. So erhält die Bundesrepublik seit dem 2. September 2022 vorn dort kein Pipeline-Gas mehr, dem Tag, an dem Moskau einen Lieferstopp verhängte. Doch es gibt eine Hintertür für die Einfuhr von russischem Gas, die offenbar zunehmend genutzt wird. Seit Beginn des Ukraine-Krieges kommen nach neuen Daten des US-Thinktanks IEEFA an europäischen Flüssiggas-Terminals rund zwölf Prozent mehr LNG aus Russland an. Damit ist Russland der drittgrößte LNG-Lieferant Europas – nach den USA und Katar. Und das Gas gelangt über Umwege teilweise auch nach Deutschland
MOSCOW, Jan 23 (Reuters) - The Baltic Sea port of Ust-Luga was exporting crude oil and fuel on Tuesday apart from at Novatek's (NVTK.MM)
, opens new tab terminal which remained closed after being damaged by fire, according to data from LSEG and industry sources.
Novatek said on Sunday it had been forced to suspend some operations at the huge Baltic Sea fuel export terminal and "technological processes" at its fuel-producing complex due to a fire, started by what Ukrainian media said was a drone attack.
Analysts believe it will take weeks to restart large-scale operations at the complex and the terminal.
The giant port of Ust-Luga, located on the Gulf of Finland about 170 km (110 miles) west of St. Petersburg, ships a wide range of goods, including oil and gas products, to international markets.
Its facilities include one terminal for crude oil exports and three terminals for handling fuel shipments, including Novatek's terminal.
According to LSEG data, 5.2 million tons of naphtha were shipped to Asia in 2023 from the port of Ust-Luga, of which 2.8 million tons originated from Novatek's terminal.
