"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.
