A tanker carrying liquefied natural gas from Siberia is currently undergoing service at a Danish shipyard, sparking outrage among several European politicians. A protest letter has been sent to the shipyard by concerned members of the European Parliament. Liberal MEP Karin Karlsbro described the shipyard’s decision as “deplorable and shameful.” The controversy centers on the ongoing trade with Russia despite international pressure following the invasion of Ukraine. Critics argue that providing services to vessels transporting Russian energy resources indirectly supports the Russian economy. The incident is fueling debate about the EU's approach to energy security and sanctions against Russia. This servicing raises questions about the balance between business interests and geopolitical considerations within the bloc.
