About Arctic Metagaz
MV Arctic Metagaz is a Russian-flagged LNG carrier that became notable as a ghost ship in early 2026. Built in 2003, the 277-metre vessel had been used to transport energy products from the sanctioned Arctic LNG 2 project to bypass Western restrictions. On March 3, 2026, while on a voyage in the Mediterranean Sea en route to Egypt, the tanker was struck by a series of Ukrainian drone strikes, a claim that Ukraine has since neither confirmed nor denied. All 30 crew members were safely evacuated but the vessel itself was abandoned. With severe damage the tanker has drifted for over two months through the waters of Malta, Italy, and Libya, still laden with 62,000 tonnes of LNG and posing a risk of a major ecological disaster. As of early May 2026, the vessel has been anchored off the eastern coast of Libya, near Benghazi.
