Novatek’s units Novatek Gas & Power Asia, shipped the first cargo of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Yamal LNG project to the United Arab Emirates.

The cargo was delivered under a spot contract, Novatek said in its statement on Friday.

The LNG cargo was transshipped in Europe onto the conventional LNG tanker Yamal Spirit and delivered to the Jebel Ali LNG terminal in accordance with the contract’s delivery schedule.
