Limarko set to enter LNG transportation market
Vytautas Lygnugaris, Limarko's owner and CEO, says that they plan to purchase more
trucks in the future, with the exact number depending on market demand.
Limarko has said
that Baltkonta will start
offering LNG transportation services next fall. According to Baltkonta CEO Kestutis Kairys, a special truck tank has been already ordered from an unnamed company in
Germany.
"In the future, everything will depend on
customers' needs, because this is intended for LNG users, and we don't know yet
how big the market will be," Lygnugaris told BNS.
"We are thinking not only about Lithuania, but
also about the Baltic countries and even the Scandinavian markets", he
added.
The CEO would not say if the company will use Klaipedos Nafta's LNG reloading station that launched operations last October.
"I can't tell you this, because it's a commercial
secret," he said.
Tank trucks from Poland's gas supplier Duon were the
first to be loaded with LNG at the new station in mid-October. The gas was sold
to the Poles by Lithuania's gas trade company Litgas.
