PGNiG to receive LNG from Qatar and Norway in June

After reviewing offers on the spot market on May 23, Polish state-controlled natural oil and gas company PGNiG has decided to buy 140,000 tones of LNG from Norway's Statoil. The "Arctic Princess" tanker will berth at LNG Terminal in Świnoujście on June 25, the company informed. Meanwhile, the company has decided to accelerate the delivery of LNG under the long-term agreement with Qatargas. The "Al-Neuman" tanker will bring 206,000 tones of LNG on June 17. The liquefied natural gas import 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.
