NOVATEK is left without Chinese modules for the liquefaction lines. Moreover, the company didn’t even receive those modules that were supposed to be delivered. 

The Chinese company Wison was one of the manufacturers for  Arctic LNG-2 modules and was also supposed to help NOVATEK with the construction of a power plant. Officially, the Chinese ended the partnership at the end of June but promised a smooth transition period.

Apparently, there will be no transition period. At the time of the announcement about the halt of shipments, two modules were en route. But they did not reach Murmansk. The delivery started slowing down before any official announcements.

After passing through the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean, and most of the Atlantic Ocean, the ship spent almost an entire month near the Azores, and all of June performing zigzag manoeuvres in international waters near the Faroe Islands. Now the ship has changed course and is heading back to China through Gibraltar.

While NOVATEK can solve the problem with the power plant itself, as it plans to use domestic gas turbine power units GTE-170 for electricity supply, it's unclear where to get new modules for the liquefaction lines.

The Chinese company Harbin Gugnghan Turbine has promised to supply turbines that will be used in the first two production lines of the Arctic LNG-2 project. The Arctic Century wrote about this earlier.
