The Swinoujscie LNG receiving terminal in Poland on the Baltic Sea is nearing completion, with cool-down cargoes scheduled to be delivered from Qatargas during mid-December, according to terminal operator Polskie LNG. According to a report by Bloomberg, Polish Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz during recent ceremonies at the terminal promised that the facility would make the country independent of natural gas supplies from Russia beginning next year. However, the news agency reported that opposition party Law & Justice said that Kopacz was just trying to woo voters before elections scheduled for Oct. 25. “The prime minister is cutting a ribbon and the terminal’s construction will continue; the terminal isn’t open,” said Beata Szydolo, opposition candidate for prime minister, as reported by Bloomberg.
