Finnish energy provider Gasum has started buying Russian LNG again, but kept a laden vessel circling in the Baltic Sea due to an uncertain demand picture.

YLE reported that the chartered 15,600-cbm LNG carrier Coral Energy (built 2012) left Vysotsk in Russia on Saturday.

The broadcaster claims the ship must keep steaming and is unable to dock because the LNG will lose its constant temperature of -163C and start to evaporate.
