PERN has zł.1.5 billion in investments in the pipeline

"The value of the envisaged investments amounts to zł.1.5 billion," said Wojciech Tabiś, president of PERN. The company has a few projects related to the expansion of existing pipelines, but not all of them are likely to be executed any time soon. According to Tabiś, the most promising project is related to the construction of a pipeline from Radzionków (Silesia) to Boronowo near Częstochowa where one of the existing product pipelines of PERN ends. This is a joint project of the company and German IVG. "A 40-kilometer section would cost roughly zł.60 million and it could be launched in mid-2007," claims Tabiś. IVG refused to comment on the information. Another project proposes merging with Lotos pipelines in Gdańsk at a cost of zł.150 million. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 6) M.M.
