"We will start 2017 with an important deal. We will
reload the first small-scale LNG cargo in Klaipeda. This is a new activity for
our group, one of the strategic directions in the gas trade business," Lietuvos Energija CEO Dalius Misiunas said in a press
release on Friday.
The Scandinavian natural gas supplier Skangass' Coral Energy, which is scheduled to arrive in Klaipeda on
Jan. 1-2, will be the first small LNG tanker loaded under an agreement signed
last September by Litgas, Lietuvos Duju
Tiekimas (Lithuanian Gas Supply) and Norway's
Statoil, Litgas said.
Up to 15,000 cubic meters of LNG will be loaded onto the Coral Energy.
Under the three-way agreement, Statoil sells LNG to
small-scale supply buyers and Litgas
and Lietuvos Duju Tiekimas provide
modulation and balancing services.
