LNG terminal in Świnoujście beats 3 mln CM threshold

The LNG terminal in Świnoujście accepted 15 deliveries totaling 3 million cubic meters of LNG. Ships usually carry 200k cubic meters of LNG each, which after gasification process turns into 120 million cubic meters of gas. “One such delivery could fulfill the country's needs for three days,” terminal operator Gaz-System spokesman Tomasz Pietrasieński said. So far, 1.8 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas has been transferred from the terminal into Polish gas pipes. The liquefied natural gas import terminal features an unloading jetty for large LNG tankers, two storage tanks and a regasification train. The terminal’s current regasification capacity is at 5 bcm per annum. but Gaz-System plans to expand it to 7.5 bcm. Most of deliveries come from Qatar and Norway.
