Gaz-System announced on Friday that registration of entities interested in participating in the open season is open.
“It is aimed at enabling market participants to confirm their interest in long-term capacity booking, and the results will constitute a basis for the investment decision and possible construction of the second vessel – namely the FSRU 2 – in the LNG terminal in Gdansk,” it said.
Gaz-system noted that the results of the non-binding market survey conducted in 2025 demonstrate a growing demand for additional regasification capacity and its relevance for the development of the gas market and export opportunities.
The company said in November last year that fourteen domestic and foreign companies took part in the non-binding call for interest.
The reported demand for 2031-2032 exceeded the planned capacity of the second FSRU, which would be capable of regasifying 4.5 billion cbm of gas per year, by almost four times, according to Gaz-System.
Almost half of the regasified LNG would be exported to Ukraine, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Lithuania.
“Given the active involvement of participants in the preliminary market consultations, the process outcome is expected to be positive. The new LNG terminal will not only meet the growing demand of the domestic energy sector, but above all, will increase access for countries in our region to global LNG sources,” Gaz-System said.
The entities interested in participating in the FSRU 2 open season procedure are requested to submit their registration documents by April 17, the firm said.
First FSRU
Gaz-System is currently building an FSRU-based terminal in the Gdansk area, designed to allow the supply of up to 6.1 bcm per year of natural gas from LNG regasification.
Poland’s Orlen previously booked the entire 6.1 bcm per year of regasification capacity at the FSRU-based facility.
Orlen is also the sole offtaker for volumes from Gaz-System’s Swinoujscie LNG terminal, Poland’s first LNG import facility.
Moreover, South Korean shipbuilder HD Hyundai Heavy Industries officially started building MOL’s 170,000-cbm FSRU, which will serve Gaz-System’s Gdansk LNG project last year.
In April 2024, Japan’s shipping giant MOL signed a long-term FSRU charter deal with Gaz-System.
