The project involves the construction of a new floating LNG receiving terminal approximately 3 km offshore from the Polish port of Gdańsk and the vessel will play a key role in the terminal as receiving and storage facility. This will be the first FSRU to be deployed in Poland, which will contribute to the strategic strengthening of the country's energy security. The project is also of great interest to Europe, as it has been designated by the EU as a "Project of Common Interest", an infrastructure development project that contributes at a regional level.
