Infrastructure for LNG exports will consist of shipping trestle, two berths in the port of Sabetta equipped nedosushennye structures. For transporting LNG will be used by tankers with ice class Arc7.
Governor of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (YANAO) Dmitri Kobylkin in comments to journalists said that the liquefied natural gas the fuel of the future. "Yamal is rich in its reserves, unique for its location. LNG production may exceed 70 million tons.
