The project will be implemented in several phases. First, the floating unit for storage and regasification with capacity up to 5 5 billion cubic meters per year is to be built.
The second phase provides for building ground terminal with two tanks, the third – building tank and additional equipment necessary to bring the capacity of the terminal to 10 billion cubic meters.
Moreover, a branch of the pipeline is to be built to connect the terminal to the gas transportation system.
The liquefied gas is to be transported from Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Qatar and Azerbaijan.
Bulding itself is to be carried out in two stages:
The first stage is the construction of a gas pipeline DU-1000 mm with length of 42 km. The implementation of the stage will allow receiving up to 5 billion cubic meters gas volume from the LNG-terminal.
The second stage is the construction of the pipeline DU-1000 mm with length of 23 km, which will allow obtaining up to 13.35 billion cubic meters from the LNG-terminal. Construction of the pipeline will be carried out by the Ukrtransgaz company, namely by the Ukrgazprombud construction and installation company.
Total length of the pipeline will be 65 kilometers, diameter - 1000 mm, the construction cost will be 856 million euros. Project implementation period is 2011-2017. Construction of the terminal will be financed by a public-private partnership.
The total volume of the tanks will allow storing 540 thousand cubic meters of liquefied gas.
