“We are short of the agreed quantities until the end of the year. We have agreed deliveries until the end of September. The notorious agreed 7 tankers – are not agreed, but we are at the level of an offer that includes deliveries of 3 tankers this year and an option for another 4 next year he added.

According to him, unloading slots for these tankers are not secured at the gas terminals, which means that a way must be found – by purchasing through third parties free unloading slots, which, according to him, will increase the price of delivered gas.
