July 26 (LNGJ) - The first cargo of LNG under the long-term contract between the Polish Oil and Gas Company and Cheniere Energy, owner of the Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi export plants in Louisiana and Texas respectively, arrived at the President Lech Kaczynski import terminal in Poland's Baltic port of Swinoujscie.
The US shipment was unloaded from the 165,000 cubic metres capacity carrier, the “Oak Spirit, after an arrival ceremony. The cargo was the 65th delivery of LNG to Poland since the start-up of the terminal in 2015. The long-term US-Poland contract, signed with Cheniere in November of 2018, will total around 39 billion cubic metres of natural gas over the 24-year period of the agreement.
“Two years ago, in this place, together with our partners from Cheniere we greeted the first ever delivery of American LNG to Poland and to this part of Europe,” said Piotr Wozniak, President of Polish Oil & Gas board, at the welcoming ceremony. Anatol Feygin, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer for Cheniere, said at the event: “This first cargo under our long-term agreement is the start of more than two decades of partnership that will bring reliable, clean, and secure energy to Poland.”
