Russian President Vladimir Putin has recently put into operation Kaliningrad’s LNG regasification terminal on January 8, which is Russia’s first floating storage regasification unit (FSRU). The terminal, built in the Baltic Sea, has the capacity of 2.7 billion cbm per year and consists of a pier protected by a breakwater and the Marshal Vasilevsky LNG tanker. The project was carried out by Russian energy giant Gazprom. The vessel converts LNG delivered by sea back to natural gas, which is then distributed to consumers or pumped into the Kaliningrad underground gas storage facility.
