LNG terminal capacity to be increased to 7.5 bcm

Gas transit operator Gaz-System announced that it will expand the LNG terminal in Świnoujście to 7.5 billion cubic meters (bcm) capacity, from the current 5 bcm. The expansion plans include building a new storage container as well as the railway platform, which will allow to transport LNG by train. Gaz-System and its unit Polskie LNG are currently preparing to launch a tender for preliminary design works and to obtain a construction permit, the statement read. “LNG has become one of the most perspective fuels in the CEE. Thanks to the expansion, we will become an active participant on the market,” Gaz-System CEO Tomasz Stępień said. The LNG terminal in Świnoujście is built in a way that allows for expansion up to 10 bcm per annum.
