Lithuania’s KN to offer Klaipeda regas slots

Lithuanian LNG terminal operator KN Energies is offering regasification capacity for four LNG cargoes at the 170,000-cbm FSRU Independence in Klaipeda in 2026.

The state-owned firm said in a statement on Thursday that it will offer 4 TWh (4 conventional cargoes) of terminal regasification capacity.

KN stated that the invitation and conditions for acquiring annual LNG regasification capacities are planned to be announced in December 2025.

The firm also released preliminary cargo delivery windows and regasification periods.

For the first cargo, the delivery window is February 24-25, 2026 and the regasification period is from February 1 to March 31, while for the second cargo the delivery window is for August 19-20 and the regasification period is from August 1-31.

Moreover, for the third and fourth cargoes, the delivery windows are September 1-2 and November 22-23, while the regasification periods are from September 1 to October 31 and November 1 to December 31, respectively.

Last December, KN Energies assumed ownership of the FSRU Independence from Hoegh Evi, and the unit was registered under the Lithuanian flag.

In March this year, the FSRU Independence completed its 500th ship-to-ship LNG transfer in Klaipeda since the start of operations in 2014.

The majority of LNG volumes originate from Norway and the United States, but the Klaipeda FSRU-based facility has also received LNG from Nigeria, Trinidad and Tobago, Egypt, Algeria, and other countries.

During the first half of this year, the FSRU completed 42 STS operations, compared to 30 STS soperations in the same period last year.

The unit received 924,000 tonnes of LNG in January-June, compared to 686,000 tonnes last year.

According to KN, the FSRU regasified 1,236 billion nm3 of natural gas and supplied it to the natural gas transmission system in the first half.

This compares to 0.795 billion nm3 in the first half of 2024.
