Qatargas: LNG terminal ready to accept deliveries

Following an audit of the LNG terminal in Świnoujście, Qatargas has confirmed that the facility is ready to receive the first batch of the liquefied gas mid-December, according to unofficial information by the Polish Press Agency (PAP). "The first gas carriers will soon be loaded with LNG at the Qatari port of Ras Laffan," a source told PAP. The vessel will deliver 200,000 cubic meters of LNG or 120 million cubic meters of gas. Świnoujście LNG terminal is a liquefied natural gas import terminal, which features an unloading jetty for large LNG tankers, two storage tanks and a regasification train. The terminal's initial regasification capacity will be 5 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.
