Yet proposals to revise these findings may still be submitted by the end of October. The company expects that the construction agreement will be signed with the contractor in early December.
The heads of Klaipedos Nafta had said numerous times that their current goal is to make the LNG terminal's activities as efficient as possible "in order to reduce its sustenance cost for Lithuanian consumers as much as possible".
Already since the beginning of 2015, when the terminal's commercial activities were launched, Klaipedos Nafta created possibilities to refill LNG from the floating storage regasification unit Independence to smaller tankers.
