Ukraine’s DTEK receives first US LNG cargo via Greece

In addition, the deal provides that D.Trading will purchase up to 2 mtpa of LNG from Venture Global’s third facility, CP2 LNG, for 20 years.

Ukraine does not have LNG import terminals.

D.Trading said it is bringing in this first cargo via Greece due to war-related restrictions on LNG transits into the Black Sea and Ukraine directly.

Instead, it will use regasification terminals like Revithoussa together with cross-border pipelines such as the vertical corridor initiative, which transmits gas between Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Moldova, and Ukraine.

D.Trading said it expects Friday’s LNG shipment to be “the first of a number of such shipments from the US, and is looking to expand its LNG activities into northern Europe and the Baltics.”
