- Świnoujście reloading capacity being raised from 40 to 60 tanker trucks per day; planned Gdańsk facility up to 48 trucks/day with operations planned from 2030.

Survey purpose
ORLEN has opened a market demand survey for small‑scale LNG and bioLNG asking business partners for projected volumes, preferred delivery locations and fuel‑use models. The company says responses will guide planning of future infrastructure and tailored commercial offerings.
Scope and timeline
The survey is intended to shape LNG reloading and logistics infrastructure for the 2029–2033 period and will remain open until the end of June. ORLEN plans to repeat the survey regularly to maintain dialogue with the market.
Planned infrastructure
Świnoujście will remain the primary regional supply source, with reloading capacity being increased from 40 to 60 tanker trucks per day. Planned infrastructure in Gdańsk — being assessed under options including direct ship‑to‑truck transfer or onshore storage tanks — is intended to complement existing facilities with capacity up to 48 tanker trucks per day and LNG loading under the new model expected to begin in 2030. The Klaipėda terminal in Lithuania continues to supply the Baltic markets and may expand if demand grows.
Market growth
Small‑scale LNG loadings in Poland rose twentyfold since 2016 to 192,000 tonnes in 2025; Lithuania’s demand grew eightfold since 2020 to 33,000 tonnes. ORLEN frames the survey as a tool to align investments and logistics with that rapid growth.
