May 15 (LNGJ) - Italian import terminal company OLT Offshore LNG Toscana closed its tender for the storage capacity at the floating storage and regasification unit for June and July.

It is the second auction following one concluded on March 6. “The tender received a very positive response: nine different companies presented an offer, and it was possible to allocate five slots, three in June and two in July, for a total quantity of LNG equivalent to about 700,000 cubic metres of gas which will be sent to the Snam Rete Gas Storage (Stogit) system,” it said.
