 WITH BOTH OIL AND LNG IN KLAIPĖDA:
Environmental risks?

 
The small island Kiaules Nugara (Pig's back) in the southern part of the Klaipeda port, at the border between the port and the Curonian Lagoon is the most likely place to build Lithuania's planned LNG terminal. This means that it will regularly sail large tankers through the narrow strait between Klaipeda city and Neringa (which is now designated as one of the country's national parks). How risky can it be to get a gas terminal and such a heavy sea traffic close to the big city that Klaipeda after all is? What about the explosion and fire risk? What about emissions and other forms of pollution? Is the water, beaches and fisheries in the Curonian Lagoon at risk? May Neringa and Klaipeda city be at risk?
