According to the data, showed that a oating storage and regasi cation unit (FSRU), the Marshal Vasilevskiy, which can also act as an LNG vessel, is due to arrive at Huelva on December 9.
Reuters cited industry sources as saying that commodity trader Gunvor had leased the Marshal Vasilevskiy from Russia’s Gazprom.
e Russian company accounts for around a third of supply to the European gas market, but does not ship natural gas to Spain via pipeline, though it has previously shipped LNG to the country. Gazprom has said that LNG supplies from the US to Europe do
not rival its own deliveries as they are more competitively priced.
