In October alone, throughput at the Butinge terminal reached 791,400 tons, which is a decline by 12.3% year-on-year and by 20.4% month-on-month, the Klaipeda port authority said in a preliminary report.
Annual throughput at the terminal last year increased by 7.3% to 9.31 million tons.
Orlen Lietuva has been importing crude oil via Butinge solely for its own needs since mid-2006.
