First LNG Delivery to Świnoujście Expected by Mid-December

Polish authorities expect the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker to arrive to the Polish Świnoujście terminal on December 11 or December 12. 

"The first supply of liquid natural gas (LNG) to the LNG terminal in Świnoujście will be delivered by Q-Flex vessel Al Nuaman. The LNG tanker was loaded in the Qatari port of Ras Laffan on November 19th 2015 and left for Poland during the night," Polskie LNG wrote on its website. 

The company, which was established in 2017 to construct and operate the facility, explained that the first delivery of LNG will be used in the commissioning and cool-down of the Świnoujście LNG terminal. 

The contract was signed in September 2015 by Polskie LNG and Polskie Górnictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo (PGNiG), which serves as an intermediary for the purposes of LNG supplies to the terminal.
