Abstract
Russia is a major maritime energy player, producing more than 9.5 million barrels per day of oil and exporting approximately 3 million barrels/day of crude by sea. Additionally, Russia aims to become a significant liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporter. Russian energy production is becoming more maritime in character, with projects on Sakhalin Island, Shtockman, and other areas. Finally, Russia is not simply a supplier of seaborne oil and gas. It has significant oil transportation interests, and after the 2006 merger of Sovcomflot and Novoship, now boasts the world’s fourth largest tanker fleet[1].
