A Maltese-flagged cargo ship, the Ruby, is currently navigating through UK waters while carrying 20,000 tonnes of ammonium nitrate, a potentially explosive fertiliser.

A Russian cargo ship named Ruby, carrying 20,000 tonnes of ammonium nitrate, sustained damage in a storm and requested to offload its dangerous cargo at Lithuania’s Klaipėda port for repairs.

At Klaipėda LNG terminal, operated by KN Energies, a record-breaking 105 thousand cubic meters of liquefied natural gas (LNG) was transferred from the FSRU Independence to the Amur River LNG vessel.

The Port of Hamburg and Klaipėda State Seaport aim to strengthening their cooperation regarding the development and implementation of joint projects and the development of new logistics routes for maritime and other types of transport between Germany and Lithuania.

On 5 March 2020, Lithuania ratified the ILO Protocol on Forced Labour, and became the 45th country worldwide and the 18th in Europe to ratify the Protocol, pledging to eradicate forced labour.

Lithuanian LNG and oil terminal operator AB Klaipedos Nafta (KN) inked a EUR 134.1 million loan agreement with Nordic Investment Bank (NIB) to optimize costs of its LNG terminal. The 25-year maturity loan will be directed to finance the rent payable for the FSRU Independence. 

In order to achieve Lithuania’s strategic renewable energy targets and exploit the possibility of offshore wind in the Baltic Sea to this end, scientists from Klaipėda University commissioned by the Ministry of Energy performed a comprehensive analysis of offshore wind development in the Baltic Sea.

Klaipedos Nafta informed that the favourable situation in the international gas markets has led to the highest operative efficiency of the LNG terminal since the launch of its activities. The terminal capacities are now fully booked for the rest of the Gas Year. The Gas Year is calculated from 1 October of the current year until 30 September of the following year.
