U.S. Weighs Russian Icebreakers for Arctic Gas Projects, Sources Say

The U.S. administration has recently discussed the possibility of chartering Russian-owned icebreakers to support the development of gas and liquefied natural gas projects, according to people familiar with the matter. The talks took place in the run-up to an Alaska summit where Arctic energy cooperation is expected to feature on the agenda. Sources said the deliberations are at an early stage and no decision has been made. Using Russian vessels would help clear Arctic shipping lanes and accelerate construction timetables for planned projects, but it could also draw scrutiny amid continuing U.S. sanctions on parts of Russia’s energy industry.
