YUZHNO-SAKHALINSK, Russia - Shipments of liquefied natural gas from Sakhalin to Japan will begin early next year under the Sakhalin-2 project now that a new plant is almost complete near a warm water port in the southernmost part of the Russian island, according to Sakhalin Energy Investment Company Ltd.

With Russia’s first-ever LNG project, Tokyo is hoping to reduce its energy dependence on the Middle East while Moscow is aiming to boost natural gas sales in the Asia-Pacific region in addition to Europe.
