Orlen puts pressure on Vopak in talks to create Integrated Logistics Operator

"We now have a ready business plan for the enterprise created on the basis of assets controlled by Naftobazy, PKN Orlen and Vopak. The next move has to be made by Orlen, which has to decide if it is ready to enter the project," said Maciej Gierej, the President of Nafta Polska. However, Orlen's representatives are still discussing the issue and announced that the final decision will be made within the next six weeks. PKN Orlen is questioning the value added which will be provided by Vopak. "Orlen is the main customer of Naftobazy. We hope that the Dutch investor can guarantee additional contracts," said Sławomir Golonka, PKN Orlen Deputy President. (Puls Biznesu, p. 8) A.K.
