Poland expects to receive its first cargo of liquefied natural gas at its new LNG terminal at the end of November or early December, Reuters reports
The terminal, being built in the Baltic city of Swinoujscie, is Poland’s flagship project to diversify its gas supplies and reduce a dependence on Russia.
Gaz-System’s unit Polskie LNG, which is building the import terminal, said it had reached an agreement with Italian company Saipem, the main contractor of the scheme, which was due to be carried out last year.
The terminal’s construction is to be officially completed on Monday. It had originally been scheduled to open in 2014 but has been delayed several times.
Built at a cost of almost 3.5 billion zlotys ($942 million), the terminal is expected to be ready for full commercial use next May and is likely to reach full capacity by 2018, its operator said last month.
Świnoujście LNG terminal (also referred as Terminal LNG in Świnoujście, Polskie LNG or Baltic LNG) is an under-construction liquefied natural gas import terminal at Świnoujście, Poland. It is developed by Gaz-System. Discussions about the project started in 2006. The project was originally developed by PGNiG. In January 2008, SNC-Lavalin was chosen for the front-end engineering design.The engineering, procurement and construction contract was signed with a consortium of Saipem, Techint, Snamprogetti, and PBG.Construction started in March 2011.After creation of Gaz-System and its separation from PGNiG, the newly created company took over the project. The terminal will have unloading jetty for large LNG tankers, two storage tanks and regasification train.
The terminal’s initial regasification capacity will be 5 billion cubic metres per annum (180×109 cu ft/a), and with the construction of the third tank its capacity is due to expand to reach 7.5 billion cubic metres per annum (260×109 cu ft/a) satisfying approximately 50% of Poland’s annual gas demand. The total cost of the terminal is expected to be €950 million.[1] In May 2013 the project was almost 60% complete, and its commissioning is scheduled for 2014. There is a plan to create a gas corridor from the Świnoujście terminal to Adria LNG terminal in Croatia. (Source: Wikipedia)
In the starting, I was frank with you propecia before and after has changed my essence. It has become much more fun, and now I have to run. Just as it is improbable to sit.
