Novatek acquires two Arc4 ice-class LNG carriers
Registration and shipping data shown on Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2026 indicated that Russia's largest liquefied natural gas producer Novatek has acquired at least two Arc4 ice-class LNG carriers, with Novatek Gas&Power Asia Pte now listed as commercial operator of the North Ocean and North Moon tankers. The vessels, built at a South Korean shipyard in 2024 and 2025 and previously operated by Japan's Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, changed ownership and operators in September, were reflagged to Panama and were renamed this month. The acquisition is a significant development for Novatek, which is under Western sanctions, as fleet constraints have hindered the development of its LNG projects, notably Arctic LNG 2.
