He added that Lisbon was willing to provide Warsaw with technical support for the process.  Portugal plans to double Sines’ capacity to handle liquefied natural gas tankers and transfer the LNG on to smaller vessels to send to European countries dependent on[ piped gas from Russia](https://gcaptain.com/how-dependent-europe-natural-gas-who-are-its-main-suppliers/), sources told Reuters in April. Portugal has said that Sines – the closest deep-water European port to the U.S. coast – could be a gateway for LNG from countries such as the United States, Nigeria or Trinidad and Tobago.  Source: Reuters ###### Share article [![Share on Facebook](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Drayad_DMP21/Images/fb.png?width=24&name=fb.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fchannel16.dryadglobal.com%2Farchive%2Fpoland-interested-in-trans-shipping-lng-through-portugal%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on LinkedIn](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Drayad_DMP21/Images/linkedin.png?width=24&name=linkedin.png)](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fchannel16.dryadglobal.com%2Farchive%2Fpoland-interested-in-trans-shipping-lng-through-portugal%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dlinkedin) [![Share on Twitter](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Drayad_DMP21/Images/twitter.png?width=24&name=twitter.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fchannel16.dryadglobal.com%2Farchive%2Fpoland-interested-in-trans-shipping-lng-through-portugal%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fchannel16.dryadglobal.com%2Farchive%2Fpoland-interested-in-trans-shipping-lng-through-portugal%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Poland%20Interested%20In%20Trans-Shipping%20LNG%20Through%20Portugal) [![Share on Pinterest](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Drayad_DMP21/Images/pinterest.png?width=24&name=pinterest.png)](http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchannel16.dryadglobal.com%2Farchive%2Fpoland-interested-in-trans-shipping-lng-through-portugal%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dpinterest&media=https%3A%2F%2Ff.hubspotusercontent40.net%2Fhubfs%2F4795492%2FDrayad_DMP21%2FImages%2Fpinterest.png) [![Share on Email](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Drayad_DMP21/Images/mail.png?width=24&name=mail.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fchannel16.dryadglobal.com%2Farchive%2Fpoland-interested-in-trans-shipping-lng-through-portugal%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fchannel16.dryadglobal.com%2Farchive%2Fpoland-interested-in-trans-shipping-lng-through-portugal%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) #### Related Posts ### [The EU’s Maritime Ambitions in the Indo-Pacific On March 10, the EU published its new Maritime Security Strategy – an updated and enhanced version..](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/archive/the-eus-maritime-ambitions-in-the-indo-pacific) ### [Europe’s role in Gulf maritime security In February 2022, the Council of the European Union (E.U.) gathered in Brussels to discuss the..](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/archive/europes-role-in-gulf-maritime-security) ### [Maritime Security Incident Overview: M/V Strinda The M/V Strinda, a Norwegian-owned chemical tanker, became the latest target of regional..](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/archive/maritime-security-incident-overview-m/v-strinda) ##### Twitter Feeds Twitter Feeds [Follow @GlobalDryad](https://twitter.com/GlobalDryad?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)   ##### Channel 16 Channel 16 ###### [Cross-Strait relations in the Lai era](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/archive/cross-strait-relations-in-the-lai-era) On May 20, Lai Ching-te was inaugurated as Taiwan's new president, prompting significant military... ##### Know More Know More ##### Reach Us Reach Us Press/media contact [Email Us](mailto:press@dryadglobal.com) General Enquiries [Contact Us Here](https://share.hsforms.com/1nNmumgLKRy6b7zdktrR3FQ2us84) [![DG Logo Horizontal NEW White](https://channel16.dryadglobal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Branding/DG%20Logo%20Horizontal%20NEW%20White.png?width=280&height=100&name=DG%20Logo%20Horizontal%20NEW%20White.png "DG Logo Horizontal NEW White")](https://dryadglobal.com) © 2024 Dryad Global.
