Oct 11 9LNGJ) - Polish import terminal operator Polskie LNG said it signed a contract with Germany-based equipment company Selas-Linde to deliver vaporisers for the expansion of the Swinoujscie facility on the Baltic Coast. The Swinoujscie terminal expansion will increase capacity to 7.5 million tonnes per annum of LNG from the current 5 MTPA. Plans for a floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) being deployed at the Baltic port of Gdansk are also being advanced.
“LNG is an important element of the strategy of diversification of sources of natural gas imports to Poland,” said Piotr Naimski of the Polish Government’s Strategic Energy Infrastructure department. The LNG expansions will be complemented by another project called Baltic Pipe to supply Norwegian pipeline natural gas to Poland.
