Lithuania's Butinge crude terminal, which is owned by Orlen Lietuva, the Lithuanian unit of Poland's PKN Orlen, handled 8.047 million tons of crude during the first ten months of 2017, up by 4.4% year-on-year, informs LETA/BNS.
In October alone, throughput at the Butinge terminal reached 791,400 tons,
which is a decline by 12.3% year-on-year and by 20.4% month-on-month, the
Klaipeda port authority said in a preliminary report to BNS.
Annual throughput at the terminal last year increased by 7.3% to 9.31
million tons.
Orlen Lietuva has been importing crude oil via Butinge solely for its own
needs since mid-2006.
