On Saturday, June 18, an official ceremony attended by Prime Minister Beata Szydło, President Andrzej Duda and Law and Justice chairman Jarosław Kaczyński was held in Świnoujście, during which the LNG terminal was named after late President Lech Kaczyński. Jarosław Kaczyński said that his brother initiated many projects  to enhance Poland's energy security and the construction of the LNG terminal was one of them. "As the president of Poland, I am here to thank a visionary, who inspired Polish, patriotically-oriented, politicians to execute this project," said President Duda. The LNG terminal in Świnoujście features an unloading jetty for large LNG tankers, two storage tanks and a regasification train. The terminal’s initial regasification capacity will be five billion cubic meters per annum. The project is worth PLN 3.5 billion and is Poland’s flagship investment aimed at diversifying gas supplies, reducing dependence on Russia.
