Gaz-System has finished installing more than 500 steel piles for the jetty at Poland’s planned floating LNG terminal in the Gulf of Gdańsk, Offshore Energy reported. The foundation work was completed within the approved timetable and budget, marking a construction milestone for a facility scheduled for commissioning in early 2028.
The piles will carry prefabricated jetty platforms and the equipment needed to operate the floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU). Gaz-System president Sławomir Hinc said contractors had overcome difficult site conditions and variable weather to complete the work on schedule. Platform assembly and preparations for construction of the subsea gas pipeline are the next stages. The offshore construction consortium includes FABE Polska.
Work is also progressing on the connection between the offshore terminal and the onshore network. According to Offshore Energy, a microtunnel more than one kilometre long was drilled in August 2026 beneath the forest, dunes and beach at Górki Zachodnie. It will accommodate the gas pipeline linking the two parts of the facility. Preparations are under way to recover the specialist tunnel boring machine, which remained beneath the Baltic seabed after drilling.
Onshore, the Gdańsk–Gustorzyn gas pipeline underwent tests in September that reportedly confirmed its good working order and the quality of construction. Łukasz Radomski, deputy contract director at the GAP–FABE–UNITEK consortium, identified coordination of material deliveries, vessel and specialist equipment availability, and teams working both offshore and on land as the principal logistical challenge.
Meanwhile, outfitting of the FSRU Solidarity continues at a shipyard in Ulsan, South Korea. The Gdańsk development will be Poland’s second coastal LNG terminal and is intended to receive seaborne LNG, provide storage and regasify the fuel for onward delivery to customers. Gaz-System describes the programme as a strategic investment that will add a gas entry point, diversify supplies and strengthen system resilience. Energy minister Miłosz Motyka said it would also expand Poland’s access to global gas markets and reinforce its role in regional supply.
