SC Klaipėdos nafta transshipment of oil products in 2001 – 2014 (million tones)

Financial results: Sales and Profitability

Profitability (2010 – 2014)

Comments:

The transhipment of 2014 is lower by 6.2% compared to 2013. The reduce in transhipment volume is related with the very unfavorable situation in the oil market during the first half of 2014.

Firstly, strongly increased competition of Russian Federation ports influenced of oil products from that country transhipment decrease for the Company as well as for the other Baltic countries terminals. Moreover, since the middle of 2013 oil products refinery margins significantly dropped and macroeconomic situation in oil market worsened, that forced SC Orlen Lietuva to reduce refining volumes and correspondingly the oil products export through Klaipedos nafta oil terminal. Situation in oil market stabilized from the second half of 2014, but the final transhipment volumes shows the reduce.

LNG Terminal project was implemented in time. During the 4 th Q of 2014 the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Terminal accepted two LNG carriers which brought total 241 thousand m3 LNG and 45 million nm3 natural gas were re-regasified and supplied to the natural gas transmission system.
