Kaliningrad was again left without transit gas through Lithuania

Since September 11, the Kaliningrad region has again not received gas in transit through Lithuania. This is the sixth time in a year when the region is provided either with LNG or from storage.

Russian gas supplies to the Kaliningrad Region via Lithuania have stopped again. On September 11, they dropped to zero. This is evidenced by the data of the platform of the GTS operators of the EU ENTSOG countries. Deliveries stopped both at the exit from Lithuania and at the exit from Belarus to Lithuania.

Obviously, the stop is connected with the unloading of the regasification terminal- the LNG tanker Marshal Vasilevsky, which made a new voyage to the Baltic LNG complex Portovaya at the end of August. Due to direct US sanctions, he stopped shipping shipments for export and Marshal Vasilevsky takes them away.

The vessel can store up to 100 million cubic meters of gas in the form of LNG, which corresponds to about two weeks of transit deliveries.

As EADaily reported, the day before, from August 10 to August 28, the Kaliningrad region generally spent all the time on its own gas reserves — without supplies via Lithuania and LNG.

Obviously, the exclave was being tested for full gas autonomy. The Kaliningrad region has its own storage facility and in June Gazprom announced an increase in the capacity of the UGS, which may now amount to 800 million cubic meters.
