Pipeline to bypass Belarus to be launched soon
The second part of the Baltic pipeline may be launched rather soon.
The idea was announced by the Russian vice Prime Minister Syarhey Ivanou on July 8. He also informed that he had plans to create a railway to the sea oil-loading terminal Primorsk and to build a gas liquation plant in Primorsk.
The Baltic pipeline will give an opportunity to do without oil transit through Belarus and Poland to the European Union using the pipeline “Druzhba”. The capacity of the new pipeline from Unecha near the Belarusian border to Primorsk will be about 50 million tons of oil per year.
Let us remind you that the first part of the Baltic pipeline with the capacity of 12 million tons per year was set in operation in December, 2001.
