“Our LNG marketing strategy aims to diversify our supply geography and customer base,”  Leonid Mikhelson, Novatek’s Chairman of the Management Board, said.

“This shipment represents our first LNG cargo produced by our own production to the Latin American market, and confirms the viability of our logistical model and unique geographical location of the Yamal LNG project to deliver competitively priced LNG to any part of the world,” Mikhelson added.
