Background

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

As of July 2019 there has been no further progress, and the project appears to be shelved.
