According to the publication, at the beginning of 2025, only one LNG carrier was listed in the Russian registry — Portovy. The total deadweight of the fleet of LNG gas carriers flying the Russian flag from January 2025 to August of this year increased from 80,000 to 1.56 million tonnes, or almost 20-fold. At the same time, the total cargo capacity increased from 138,000 to 2.9 million cubic meters, that is, 21-fold. The main increase in the fleet was ensured by the re-registration in Russia of ships built abroad and the start of serial delivery of gas carriers by the Zvezda shipyard. Earlier, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said on the sidelines of the international industrial exhibition Innoprom in Yekaterinburg that three more ice-class gas carriers would be put into operation in the coming years.
