Services provided by KN

LNG regasification

KN Energies provides a comprehensive LNG regasification service based on reliable, transparent, and internationally compliant processes. The service covers several interconnected stages:

  • Transfer. Vessels arriving at the terminal are unloaded safely and efficiently. We accept cargoes from 65,000 to 215,000 m³, and standard cargoes up to 160,000 m³ are discharged within 40 hours or faster. Larger volumes are coordinated individually.
  • Storage. The unloaded cargo can be stored either physically or virtually at the terminal, ensuring flexible management of energy flows.
  • Regasification. LNG is converted into its gaseous state and delivered into the transmission system, ensuring uninterrupted energy supply according to the agreed regasification rates.

LNG transfer

The LNG transfer service enables flexible and reliable energy supply chains and provides the ability to manage energy logistics efficiently both within the region and beyond. The service includes several stages:

  • Transfer. Vessels arriving at the terminal are safely unloaded. We accept cargoes from 65,000 to 215,000 m³, and cargoes up to 160,000 m³ are typically unloaded within 40 hours. Larger volumes are coordinated individually.
  • Storage. Unloaded LNG can be stored physically or virtually, depending on the client’s needs.
  • Reloading. The LNG cargo, or part of it, is loaded onto arriving gas carriers from 5,000 m³. The standard reloading duration is up to 48 hours, with individual arrangements available when needed.
