The Kairos LNG feeder and bunker vessel reload marked Klaipėdos nafta’s (KN’s) 20th small-scale LNG reloading operation.
KN’s LNG terminal reload operations began in 2017 and was the first operation of its kind in the world, making Lithuania the 12th country to ever re-export LNG.
In KN’s 20 LNG reload operations, they have worked with companies like Shell and Gasum, among others. These companies later re-exported the LNG to small-scale terminals in Scandinavia using KN’s distribution facility.
According to KN’s CEO, Mindaugas Jusius, small-scale LNG reload operations are of great interest to corporations. The growing interest stems from the convenient placement on the Baltic Sea as well as the low operating costs for the terminal itself. KN also provides other services along the logistics chain within the same region, including storage, gasification, and supply by both land and sea.
