FSRU Terminal
Basic parameters and description of the project:
The purpose of the investment project is to create an infrastructure that will enable the off-take of additional volumes of liquefied natural gas delivered by sea, their subsequent regasification and delivery to the National Transmission System.
The investment involves the location of a floating FSRU (Floating Storage Regasification Unit) in the Gdańsk region, capable of capable of: LNG unloading, in-process storage and regasification of LNG,roviding additional services. as well as providing additional services. Depending on the assumptions adopted for the service delivery model, including, among others things, the assumed division of the terminal's capacity into Slots in which the regasification services or regasification services and additional services will be provided, the FSRU Terminal could be designed to provide regasification capacity at the level corresponding to about 6.1 billion m of gaseous fuel per year. In addition, at this stage it is still assumed that the regasification capacity can be increased depending on market development and growth in demand for natural gas in the country and region.
As part of the program, the expansion of the national transmission system is also planned, which will enable effective distribution of gas from the Gdańsk region to customers in Poland and in the region. For the capacity of the new terminal to be fully utilised the construction of new gas transmission pipelines is required. Currently, works in three investment projects are underway:

For the capacity of the new terminal to be fully utilised the construction of new gas transmission pipelines is required. Currently, works in three investment projects are underway:
- gas pipeline Kolnik - Gdańsk with a length of approx. 34 km,
- Gustorzyn - Wicko gas pipeline, section Gardeja - Kolnik length of approx. 88 km,
- Gustorzyn - Wicko gas pipeline, section Gustorzyn - Gardeja with a length of approx. 128 km.
Project status:
- The project is in the preparatory stage,
- The tentative completion date is scheduled for 2027/2028.
Project location:
The FSRU terminal is to be located in the Gdańsk area.
The FSRU project is in line with the Polish and European policy of ensuring the stability of economic development through access to new sources of gas imports to Poland. It is also a response to the growing demand for natural gas on the domestic market and in the CEE region.
The investment will have a positive impact on the further development of efficiently functioning natural gas markets in the region and thus, by providing access to new sources of gas supply, and provide access to gas on more favourable price terms. Along with ensuring adequate diversification of gas supply sources, the attractiveness of this fuel in relation to other energy sources will increase in the energy markets, as the competition between market participants will increase.

The project is implemented on the basis of the provisions of the Act of 24 April 2009 on investments in regasification terminal for liquefied natural gas in Świnoujście (for consolidated text see Journal of Laws of 2024, item 551).

The European Commission, as part of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), has awarded the LNG Gdansk project a grant for the activity titled: "Pre-investment works to obtain a construction permit for the offshore part of PCI 6.27 LNG Gdansk (PL)". The maximum amount of the awarded support is approximately €19.6 million.
The European Commission's decision to grant financial assistance to GAZ-SYSTEM for the LNG Gdansk project for the above-mentioned action was approved by EU member states on December 7, 2022. As part of the implementation of this decision, GAZ-SYSTEM signed an agreement with The European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA). The funding was awarded as part of the CEF Energy grant competition launched in May 2022. The grant covers work such as seabed surveys, environmental inventories, Front End Engineering Design (FEED), construction and detailed design, and obtaining the necessary administrative decisions and permits - including a construction permit.

The European Commission has granted the PCI (Project of Common Interest) status to the project. The program was implemented on the fifth project list of the implementation of the European Union recognition point (the so-called PCI list, Projects of Common Interest), published in November 2021 as part of the priority corridor:
- North-South Gas Interconnection in Central and South-Eastern Europe (“NSI East Gas”)
- LNG Gdańsk project
While implementing its investment projects GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. respects the rights of all interested stakeholders. We encourage you to send comments and questions concerning the project which has been granted the PCI using the Form for questions and comments concerning the implementation of projects with PCI status by GAZ- SYSTEM.
