London wants to ban maritime services for Russian LNG exports

The United Kingdom plans to ban companies from providing maritime services dealing with carriage of Russian liquefied natural gas to third countries, The Independent reported.

"Russian liquified natural gas (LNG) is set to face a ban on access to UK maritime services, including insurance and shipping," the news outlet said.

Such restrictions will be introduced during the next year in interaction with other European countries, the newspaper added.

The UK banned Russian LNG imports since January 2023.
