The new jetty will enable the provision of new crucial services at the LNG Terminal in Świnoujście, including methane carriers loading and unloading, LNG transhipment and loading LNG bunkers, as well as bunkering service. These services follow the recent trend in Small Scale LNG (SSLNG) development owing to which the LNG Terminal in Świnoujście will be able to satisfy the growing market demand as well as to respond to a number of European regulations including climate and environmental laws which stimulate the transition towards low-emission fuels.
