Shell ran into another obstacle on its Sakhalin project yesterday after a Russian court ruled against the construction of a quay on the island.
The Sakhalin project, which aims to tap 4billion barrels of oil and gas under the frozen seas off Russia’s east coast, has enraged environmentalists and is running 100pc over budget.
After agreeing to move a pipeline earlier in the year to safeguard a population of Pacific grey whales, Shell is now being accused of destroying local fish populations.
