Constructor of gas terminal warns of a walkout

Saipem, the Italian constructor of the Świnoujście gas terminal, has asked for an annex to the contract with the Polish Ministry of the Treasury. They claim to require more money for construction work on the terminal and will leave the construction site if their demands are not met. Minister of the treasury Włodzimierz Karpiński claims that the completion of the project is not at risk, according to Polish Radio Jedynka. Karpiński said that similar projects are usually delayed by two years and that negotiations between the constructor and investor will come to terms. Recently, we covered minister of the economy Janusz Piechociński's claim that the gas terminal should be operational in 2015. It remains to be seen if this date will hold true.
