There has been harsh criticism of the Danish shipyard Fayard because, despite the war in Ukraine, it has continued to service a number of gas carriers transporting millions of tonnes of Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) through the Arctic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now yet another ship carrying Russian gas is on its way to the shipyard on Funen. This is revealed by ship data and photographs taken by Danwatch of the vessel as it entered the Port of Odense. The vessel in question is the 299-metre-long ship Rudolf Samoylovich, which was delivered to the giant Yamal facility in Russia in 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since December 2025, the vessel has also been on Ukraine\u2019s sanctions list<\/a>, where the Ukrainian authorities state, amongst other things, that \u201cThe tanker is involved in the Russian Federation\u2019s energy sector, the profits from which are one of the most important sources of revenue for the aggressor state\u2019s budget\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sebastian R\u00f6tters, campaign manager at the German NGO Urgewald, believes it is deeply problematic that the shipyard is still maintaining the ships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFayard has the opportunity to cause real problems for Russia\u2019s Arctic LNG business and thereby increase the pressure on Russia. Instead, strictly speaking, Fayard is profiting from the war in Ukraine, because the entire market for the maintenance of Arc7 tankers has been left to them,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n
