“Our unique partnership with Sovcomflot will optimise our LNG transport model through the Arctic zone by efficiently and effectively using ice-class tankers” according to Novatek’s Chairman of Management Board Leonid Mikhelson. “To implement our long-term development strategy to produce more than 55 million t of LNG by 2030, we need to establish an efficient Northern Sea Route shipping model. Combining our efforts with Sovcomflot, one of the global leaders in navigation in harsh ice conditions, will allow us to achieve maximum efficiency in managing our transportation costs.”
