A shipment of LNG was delivered to Greece, which was bought by the Ukrainian D.Trading. It will be enough for the country for a day of consumption.
The Gaslog Savannah tanker delivered a shipment of LNG from the USA to the Greek Revitusa terminal. The delivery was made from the Calcasieu Pass terminal of the American company Venture Global.
As EADaily reported, the gas carrier left the terminal on the Gulf Coast on December 5 and, as ICIS analyst Tom Marzek-Manser wrote, the Ukrainian company accounts for 10% of the cargo — up to 10 million cubic meters.
D.Trading stated that they had bought the entire cargo of 100 million cubic meters. A trader owned by DTEK Rinat Akhmetov said that regasified volumes of LNG will be exchanged through the GTS networks of the countries EU and Ukraine.
The company expects that the LNG supply will not be the last. At the same time, it is not necessary to talk about a breakthrough yet, since with the current consumption of Ukraine has received enough cargo for the country for a day.
Future deliveries for DTEK were also confirmed by Venture Global. The head of the company, Michael Sable, stated that the Greek terminals would be the starting point for alternative gas supplies to the Central and Eastern European regions. Eastern Europe, which continues to be the fiefdom of Gazprom.
In June, Venture Global and D.Trading announced the conclusion of a non-binding comprehensive basic agreement (HOA) for the supply of liquefied natural gas to Ukraine and in Eastern Europe.
Venture Global stated that some deliveries are expected from the end of 2024 until the end of 2026 from the Plaquemines plant, which is planned to be launched from the third quarter of this year. And others, up to 2 million tons (2.7 billion cubic meters) per year, want to organize from the unfinished Calcasieu Pass 2 (CP2) — for a period of 20 years.
