Murmansk Region welcomes the idea of shifting Lukoil’s transshipment facility from Kirkenes (Norway) to Murmansk, IAA PortNews correspondent cites Dmitry Sosnin, Minister of Transport and Road Facilities of the Murmansk Region, as saying at the 6th international conference “Logistics in the Arctic” in Murmansk.
Lukoil is looking into establishing a floating transshipment facility.
In May 2015, Norterminal and its subsidiary Norterminal Floating Storage AS announced their plans to expand annual capacity of the oil terminal in Kirkenes from 3 mln t to 6 mln t to boost transshipment of Russian oil.
The demand of LUKOIL for transshipment of oil shipped from Varandey is estimated at some 7 mln t per year.
