project and LNG sales, China's state - run shipping conglomerate COSCO has also secured a 50 percent stake in the four LNG shipping carriers serving Yamal.90 Chinese engineers and workers have been deployed to the Yamal Peninsula to help construct surrounding infrastructure, which includes a Chinese - produced polar
drilling rig.91 Moreover, a Chinese oil and gas rig producer now provides Russia
with about 60 percent of its imported oil rig supplies, indicating that China is becoming a dominant player in this sphere.92 Chinese media recently hailed Yamal as an example of China's construction and engineering prowess and a symbol of its transformation into an Arctic player.93 In return for China stepping into support the
project, senior officials from Novatek, the main shareholder of the
project, announced that the first LNG shipment would symbolically go to China.94 But a British subsidiary of Malaysia's Petronas purchased the first shipment of Yamal LNG and sold it to France's Engie, which then shipped the cargo to its Boston import facility for American use.95 Western sanctions on Novatek, Russia's largest independent national gas producer and a company
