Russian ship in Swedish port with liquefied gas

A Russian liquefied natural gas ship docked at the Swedish port of Nyneshamon on Saturday. The vessel, named ‘Coral Energy’, is said to have come from the gas terminal of Russia’s state-owned energy company Gazprom.

The United States and its allies imposed extensive sanctions on Russia due to the attack on Ukraine, but the import of liquefied gas by ship from that country is not covered. But Russia’s imports of any goods, including energy, are generally viewed negatively in the Western world, as money from energy exports is helping Moscow pay for the war in Ukraine.
In May 2022, Sweden’s then government announced a ban on Russian oil and gas imports in parliament, but it was not implemented. The 164-metre-long vessel ‘Coral Energy’ had previously called at the port of Nyneshamn after full-scale war broke out between Russia and Ukraine.

Observers say it will not be possible to prevent member states from importing Russian gas unless new rules are issued for the EU’s gas market. And the new proposal must first be approved by the EU Parliament and Cabinet.
The EU Parliament is likely to vote on the proposal this January. While the EU has so far not imposed sanctions against Russia on liquefied natural gas imports, countries such as Latvia and Lithuania have banned imports themselves.

The port of Nyneshamn also has a gas terminal of the Finnish state gas company ‘Gassam’. Russia’s Gazprom has a long-term contract with them.
According to the Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat, the agreement stipulates that Gazprom will be obliged to pay Gazprom for it even if it does not buy Russian gas for a period of time. The Finnish government has announced a ban on Russian gas imports from 2025.
