Jan 24 (LNGJ) - Polskie LNG, the operator of the Polish import terminal at the Baltic port of Swinoujscie, said it had received environmental permits for its planned expansion of regasification capacity, storage and loading, allowing it to complete contract tenders. The Polish terminal began operations in 2009 and can currently receive almost 4 million tonnes per annum of LNG. Two tender procedures are currently in progress for the terminal. “The objective of the first is the selection of the contractor for three key components, construction of the third storage tank, process installations to increase regasification capacity and the LNG-to-rail transhipment installation along with a dedicated railway siding,” said the company. The deadline for the first tender has been extended to February 19. A second tender with a February 26 deadline is for the building of an additional jetty in cooperation with the Szczecin and Swinoujscie Seaports Authority.
