GAZ-SYSTEM has entered into collaborative agreements with the Port of Gdańsk and the Maritime Office in Gdynia to advance a critical investment for Poland’s security – the establishment of a floating LNG terminal of the FSRU type within the Port of Gdańsk. This strategic investment aims to enhance the diversification of Poland’s natural gas supply sources, ensuring the security of over 30% of the country’s energy demand.
The floating LNG terminal, situated within the administrative boundaries of the Port of Gdańsk, will serve as a pivotal hub for liquefied natural gas, converting it into a gaseous form for injection into the transmission network. The collaborative agreements, inked on 12 October, signify a commitment to mutual support and coordination throughout the investment process, encompassing design, preparation, and implementation. The Port of Gdańsk Management Board will play a crucial role in facilitating the project’s execution, providing necessary utilities and real estate within the port area, while the Maritime Office in Gdynia will oversee the construction of essential infrastructure, including the breakwater foundation.
The LNG Gdańsk project has received significant backing from the European Committee under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), securing approximately EUR 19.6 million in funding for technical specifications and design work. This support underscores the project’s regional importance and its alignment with broader European energy objectives. Through collaborative efforts and strategic investments like the FSRU terminal, GAZ-SYSTEM and its partners are driving Poland towards a more secure and sustainable energy future.
