The first LNG cargo arrived at a Turkish terminal for delivery to Bulgaria’s Bulgargaz under the agreement signed last January with Turkey’s Botas.
In particular, the American Cheniere sent the cargo on the MOL Hestia to the Marmara Ereglisi terminal, before it was transported to the north of Bulgaria by pipeline.
It is recalled that in January the two partners, Bulgargaz and Botas, signed a 13-year agreement, which ensures the Bulgarian company access to Turkey’s gas transit system and five LNG terminals.
At the special ceremony that took place in the framework of the receipt of the first cargo, the Bulgarian Minister of Energy, Rosen Hristov, noted that, thanks to the agreement with Botas, up to ten LNG carriers can arrive in Bulgaria every year.
Bulgargaz imports LNG through Revythoussa, while it has secured capacity at the Alexandroupoli FSRU, whose operation will start later in the year.
