An outgoing LNG carrier was reported to have collided with a loading jetty at the port of Prigorodnoye that serves the Sakhalin 2 liquefied natural gas project earlier this week.

Russian news agency Tass reported that the jetty was closed after the incident but Sakhalin Energy, operater of the Sakhalin 2 project, said in a statement that it did not expect the incident to have any impact on shipping schedules.
