European shipyards are repairing Russian gas tankers, enabling Moscow to keep energy supplies moving through the Arctic and avoid Western sanctions, according to reports.
Damen shipyard in Brest, France, and Fayard A/S in Denmark have provided maintenance works to Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) tankers, allowing them to access crucial markets through winter, the Financial Times reported. A loophole in European Union sanctions means maintenance can be carried out there.
