Background

In July 2016 LNG-Gorskaya secured approval from Russia’s Federal Marine and River Transport Agency (Rosmorrechflot) for a proposed floating LNG venture near St Petersburg. Each of the three barges was to have an annual capacity of 656 million cubic meters, for a total of 1.9 billion cubic meters of natural gas. In June 2017 Gorskaya's CEO reported that the company had agreed to build floating bunkering stations and storage facilities at seven Baltic ports that would be able to supply LNG-fueled vessels with mostly Russian LNG by 2020.

As of June 2022 there has been no further progress reported in more than four years, and the project appears to be cancelled.
