In Part 1, we outlined the methodology used to identify vessels engaged in Russian LNG transportation and reviewed the structural characteristics of the fleet. In this second part, we turn to ownership structures and sanctions exposure.

Recent months have seen extensive reporting on Russia’s oil “shadow fleet.” This prompted a parallel review of the LNG shipping segment: does a comparable structure exist in LNG, and what does the actual fleet engaged in transporting Russian LNG look like?
The result is a dedicated database compiled for Cedigaz subscribers, covering vessels directly or indirectly involved in transporting LNG from Yamal LNG, Sakhalin LNG and Arctic LNG-2, as well as vessels participating in transshipment operations.

Israel’s natural gas sector is increasingly discussed in the context of global LNG markets. Having moved from energy self-sufficiency to sustained export capability, Israel now influences the LNG system indirectly, through its integration with Egypt’s gas and power balance. The relevance of Israeli gas therefore lies in how gas is allocated under stress: as regional balances tighten and security risks rise, Israeli pipeline flows shape the margin between power stability and availability of feedgas for LNG in Egypt.
