SINGORE, Sept 23 - A liquefied natural gas vessel managed by a company in India has berthed at Russia's Arctic LNG 2 project, following five previous cargo loadings onto vessels managed by companies under U.S. sanctions, data showed. The Arctic LNG 2 by Novatek is among the projects subject to Western sanctions imposed due to Russia's conflict with Ukraine. The Mulan LNG vessel berthed at the plant on Sept. 22, data from Kpler and LSEG showed. From Aug. 8-28, the vessel was managed by Mumbai-based Plio Energy Cargo Shipping, according to data from Equasis.
