To the Americans: Russian company will build LNG terminal in Germany
While Poland intends to buy liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the United States for twenty years, Russia is establishing contacts in this industry with Germany. If Warsaw is guided by political ambition, the main thing for Berlin is economic profit, and Russian gas is in every way cheaper than American.
As you know, the leader in the Russian LNG market is Novatek. Now the joint venture of Novateka and the Belgian gas transportation company Fluxys is going to build a powerful terminal for transshipment of LNG in the port of the German city of Rostock.
Since the agreement on the lease of land for construction has already been signed, the whole thing is already technical part of the work. Russians and Belgians plan to build a medium tonnage terminal with a capacity of 300 thousand tons of LNG per year.
In the port of Rostock will be able to accept ships with LNG coming from Russian ports, including from the port of Vysotsk, where Novatek is building a new LNG plant. Further, LNG will either be delivered to the market by tank trucks or will be loaded onto bunker barges.
Experts believe that the use of LNG as a fuel for ships and vessels can significantly reduce environmental damage. As for the economic result from the opening of the terminal, it consists in further strengthening the position of Russia as an exporter of gas in the European market. Germany will also win, which will be able to receive LNG in large quantities.
