The liquefied natural gas ship LNG Merak is expected to arrive in Sines at around 3pm, according to information on the Sines Port Administration (APS) website.
According to Expresso, this is the fourth shipment of Russian gas in Portugal this year.
It is worth remembering, however, that gas, unlike oil, was not included in Europe's sanctions on Russia following the war.
Last month, the Liberal Initiative (IL) sent a question to the Minister of Environment and Climate Action, Duarte Cordeiro, about the import of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Russia, particularly after the start of the large-scale invasion of Ukraine, which began in February 2022.
On August 30, Jornal de Negócios reported that, by June of this year, national imports of Russian liquefied natural gas had grown to almost 200 million cubic meters.

Why in the world would Portugal accept to trade with Russia, a country that literally wants to destroy Europe. It should not be business as usual. There are so many 3rd world countries from whom we can buy gas or oil. No need to turn to the Russian Federation.

While it may be legal to not only accept but to increase shipments by 200% of Liquefied Natural Gas from Russia, there is no gray area here. To trade with Russia is to provide Russia with the resources to support their invasion of Ukraine.

Lovely that the Portuguese oil industry is supporting Russia in their efforts to destroy Ukraine, Israel etc!

unbelievable??? on the one hand Portugal supports sending weapons to the Ukraine to kill Russians and on the other hand they buy gas to those they wish dead... strange!!!

So the Portuguese should not have electricity, be able to cook and heat their homes because of America's proxy war on Russia?! Be careful what you wish for people.

Amazing how comments here just mimic commercial media. Russia never invaded Ukraine. Ukraine broke the Minsk accord of peace in 2016 and started bombing and murdering innocent russian people who Russia was forced to defend.
America put in an unelected comedian as Ukrainian President that does America bidding, while America exports lithium from the Ukraine in which it's people see no financial gain.
America is the enemy of the world, they start more wars than any other country, and back many other wars with money and weapons.
I've woken up with a little bit of critical thinking and research without using American owned search engines.

"Russia never invaded Ukraine" - Steve, you'd do great as juror in a rape case!
