The vessel Gaselys, bound for the American coast with a cargo of gas extracted from Yamal, changed the course the day before arriving at the port of Boston. About this agency Bloomberg reported on Friday, January 19. It was expected that the tanker will arrive in the US on January 13. But after 21 days on the road, almost reaching the American coast, he suddenly turned around.
According to some reports, now he is going to Spain. In the port of Algeciras, they are ready to meet him next week. Meanwhile, the owner of the cargo - the North American division of the French company Engie SA refuses to comment. Earlier, the media learned that the Americans bought in Europe a consignment of liquefied gas. By an interesting coincidence, the tanker was loaded on the terminal in the UK by liquefied fuel coming from Russia.
This was the first gas produced at the Yamal LNG plant. Americans had to buy fuel abroad, because of the abnormal frosts and snowfalls in the country there were interruptions to the supply of the east coast, in addition, local suppliers broke huge prices - up to 6,3 thousand. dollars per thousand cubic meters. However, the purchase of Russian gas did not go unnoticed. After the information about the deal in the media, a lot of critical remarks appeared that the States did not adhere to the course they had announced.
