WARSAW: The first commercial shipment of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) has docked at the Świnoujście terminal in north-western Poland. The ship, operated by Qatargas, arrived at the Świnoujście in Poland on Friday, the operator of the terminal, Gaz-System said in a statement. The vessel “will deliver 210,000 cubic metres of liquefied natural gas”, the statement read. The gas will be pumped from the ship to the tanks located in the onshore part of the terminal on Saturday.
The delivery is in line with expectations set in December 2015, when the government announced the terminal could start receiving a shipment of fuel a month from the second half of this year. The shipments will be made under a deal between Polish gas monopoly PGNiG and Qatargas, the state-controlled gas distributor of Qatar, explained Jan Chadam, the CEO of Poland’s Gaz-System, which operates the gas terminal.
