Ukraine in Talks with Turkey over Bosporus LNG Transportation Route

Ukraine is in talks with Turkey on the possibility of the passage of liquefied natural gas tankers through the Bosphorus Strait.

This was stated by Ukraine’s Prime Minister Mykola Azarov during a meeting with the State Department’s Special Envoy and Coordinator for International Energy Affairs, Ambassador Carlos Pascual.

“We have problems with the construction of a terminal for receiving liquefied natural gas. The problems are related to the fact that Turkey is reluctantly considering passage of tankers with liquefied gas through its straits”, Mykola Azarov said.

He added that Ukraine currently studies various opportunities for supplying itself with the gas through regasification terminals.
