The Russian gas company Novatek will create a transport company - Arctic Marine Transport LLC. This is stated in a message from Novatek. There is no such legal entity in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities yet.

The company is being created to optimize costs and increase the competencies of Arctic navigation, the report notes. An effective transportation model along the Northern Sea Route (the shortest route between the European part of Russia and the Far East across the seas. - Vedomosti) is one of Novatek’s priorities, the statement quoted Chairman Leonid Mikhelson as saying. The company expects liquefied natural gas (LNG) production in the Arctic region to reach at least 55 million tons by 2030.

In May, selected Novatek a site for the construction of an LNG terminal in Kamchatka. Work on its construction has already begun. “We need to understand things related to waves, wind, and tsunamis, which happen once every 1000 years, but we must also calculate this matter,” said Alexander Fridman, first deputy chairman of the board of the gas company, earlier.
