The vessel, designed to ensure gas safety of Kaliningrad, sailed to the EU

The movement of the regasification vessel Marshal Vasilevsky, owned by Gazprom and providing gas to the Kaliningrad region, raises many questions from individual Russian media.





So edition RBCUpon learning that "Marshal Vasilevsky" was going to Rotterdam, he made of it almost a detective story.

The authors of the publication, referring to their own sources and materials of Western news agencies, put forward a number of assumptions about what the floating installation is doing now.

Among the advanced versions, two can be distinguished: the vessel is involved in LNG supplies to Europe or leased to a partner of Gazprom, the Austrian company OMV.

Representatives of the Russian company, the owner of the regasification vessel, as well as representatives of OMV, declined to comment.

RBC's concerns about the movements of "Marshal Vasilevsky" are not entirely clear. It is difficult to assume that Gazprom used the tanker for some needs to the detriment of the energy security of Kaliningrad.

Most likely, the LNG receiving terminal is loaded with enough gas, and Gazprom, which had not previously ruled out the possibility of using Marshal Vasilevsky to supply liquefied gas to global markets, is now using it in this direction so as not to incur losses just me.
