The first liquefied natural gas tankers from the United States to Poland and the Netherlands are both expected to arrive today (June 7), according to shipping data.
Arctic Discoverer, capable of carrying about 2.9 billion cubic feet of natural gas, is headed for the Netherlands, while the Clean Ocean, with a capacity of around 3.2 bcf, is headed for the Poland.
The vessels left Cheniere Energy’s Sabine Pass LNG export terminal in Louisiana on May 21 and May 22.
In May, Poland’s minister responsible for oil and gas infrastructure said LNG imports from the United States could significantly undermine the dominant position on the European gas market of Russia’s Gazprom.
Poland’s LNG terminal in Swinoujscie on the Baltic Sea was completed in 2015 and opened last year.
