The volumes of Lithuania’s LNG imports are expected to triple this year after two new importers signed deals with Norway's Statoil, said the terminal's operator, Klaipedos Nafta.

"Based on current plans, Statoil's market share (in Lithuania) will increase to more than 50% this year," Lithuania's Energy Minister Rokas Masiulis told Reuter
