Gaz-System’s unit which operates the Swinoujscie LNG terminal said on Monday via its social media channels that it had begun testing the fourth LNG truck loading bay.
The company said the expansion of the capacity is a response to the market’s growing interest in small-scale LNG services.
The launch of the new loading bay is planned for the coming weeks.
Currently, approximately 40 trucks are being loaded at the Swinoujscie LNG terminal each day at the three truck loading bays.
Since 2016, Gaz-System has loaded over 55,500 trucks with LNG.
With the launch of the fourth bay, Gaz-System will be able to load 20 more trucks per day, bringing the total to 60.
Poland’s LNG deliveries hit a new record last year due to the expansion of the Swinoujscie facility.
The expanded terminal now has a total regasification capacity of about 8.3 bcm per year, and the increased capacity has been available since January 1, 2025.
The expansion included the third 180,000-cbm tank and an additional jetty, which allows unloading, loading, and bunkering operations of small-scale vessels.
Qatar and the US are the leading suppliers of LNG to Poland as part of long-term contracts, while the US has been the dominant supplier in the last couple of years.
In addition to this facility, Gaz-System aims to launch Poland’s first FSRU-based LNG import facility in Gdansk in the first quarter of 2028.
Poland’s Orlen previously booked the entire 6.1 bcm per year of regasification capacity at the FSRU-based facility, as is the case with the Swinoujscie facility.
In addition to this FSRU, Gaz-System plans to install a second FSRU as part of the project as well.
