Naftogaz Books First-Ever Long-Term EU LNG Terminal Capacity at Klaipeda
Ukraine’s Naftogaz Group announced on June 10 that it has secured long-term LNG regasification capacity in Europe for the first time, booking capacity at the Klaipeda LNG terminal in Lithuania for a period of 11 years from 2033 to 2044. The capacity was allocated by terminal operator KN Energies, with Naftogaz among five successful bidders, joining Equinor, Ignitis, Latvenergo and Gasum. CEO Sergii Koretskyi stated that the move expands Ukraine’s access to the global LNG market and strengthens the long-term resilience of the country’s gas supply amid the ongoing war. Previously, Naftogaz had only participated in LNG operations through partnerships with international companies, making this direct capacity booking a significant milestone in the group’s diversification strategy away from traditional pipeline supply.
Gasum Secures Long-Term LNG Capacity at Klaipeda Terminal for 2033–2040
Nordic energy company Gasum announced on June 10 that it has secured long-term LNG terminal capacity at the Klaipeda LNG terminal in Lithuania for a seven-year period from 2033 to 2040. The terminal is well located relative to Gasum’s own LNG terminal network in Finland, Sweden and Norway, and will be used primarily as a reloading point for the company’s carrier and bunker vessels. The capacity supports Gasum’s ability to supply the Northwestern European market with LNG and bio-LNG, with the latter enabled through mass balancing and biomethane certificates that allow virtual liquefaction of pipeline-fed biomethane. This capability is increasingly important as a growing number of Gasum’s maritime customers seek to further reduce lifecycle fuel emissions beyond what LNG alone can offer.
Grain LNG Launches Expression of Interest for 2029 Regasification Capacity
Grain LNG announced on June 15 the launch of an Expression of Interest inviting market participants to register non-binding interest in regasification capacity available from October 2029 as existing long-term contracts expire. The capacity offering includes approximately 200,000 cubic metres of LNG storage, 125 gigawatt-hours per day of regasification capability equivalent to around 3 million tonnes per annum, and associated berthing rights. The terminal is simultaneously consulting on a proposed capacity sharing arrangement, with three product structures under exploration: full capacity awards to a single user, split capacity among multiple parties, and joint bid structures. The EOI deadline is 15 July 2026, after which feedback will inform the final product offering. As the UK’s second-largest LNG terminal, Grain LNG’s capacity release offers new access to the British gas hub.
Ferrovial Wins $1.08 Billion USACE Contract for San Juan Flood Control Channel Expansion
Ferrovial announced on June 9 that it has been awarded an approximately US$1.08 billion contract by the US Army Corps of Engineers to expand and upgrade the Río Piedras flood control channel in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The project will more than double the channel width from 80 feet to over 160 feet, reinforced with deep concrete pile walls extending over 100 feet below the surface joined by reinforced concrete beams, with a double-wall approach employed in certain sections to prevent landslides and erosion. This is the second contract Ferrovial has secured under the Puerto Nuevo flood control programme, which is estimated to span approximately six years and generate over 10,000 direct and indirect jobs. The works aim to safeguard neighbourhoods, commercial properties and critical infrastructure from increasingly intense rainfall events.
Morocco’s ONEE and EBRD Sign €250 Million Drinking Water Infrastructure Financing Deal
Morocco’s National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water signed a letter of intent with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development on June 9 for €250 million in financing to upgrade the country’s drinking water production and distribution infrastructure. The programme will be implemented in two phases under ONEE’s 2025–2030 investment plan, covering improvements to the technical performance of drinking water production facilities, the introduction of energy efficiency standards, and enhanced climate resilience, supported by investment grants and technical assistance. Morocco’s National Guarantee and Financing Company will act as guarantor. Since beginning cooperation in 2014, the EBRD has mobilised approximately €119 million for ONEE’s drinking water sector; this new financing more than doubles the cumulative total, marking a significant scaling-up of the partnership to address Morocco’s growing water security and climate adaptation challenges.
United Utilities Commits £30 Million to Nature-Based Stormwater Management in Liverpool
United Utilities announced on June 10 a £30 million investment programme to make Liverpool a ‘spongier city’ through the wider adoption of nature-based blue-green infrastructure, with delivery targeted by 2030. The programme encompasses rain gardens, green roofs, urban wetlands, redesigned absorbent playgrounds and new surface water drainage infrastructure, all designed to capture and retain rainwater close to where it falls and reduce runoff entering the combined sewer network. Approximately 85 percent of Liverpool’s sewers are combined, meaning heavy rainfall frequently triggers overflows and river pollution. Early works have already begun in the Deysbrook and Alder Hey Hospital area with a £536,000 scheme including new drainage infrastructure and over 700 rainwater-retaining planters distributed to residents, alongside rain garden installations at Liverpool ONE in partnership with the shopping centre.
USBR Awards $75.5 Million HDD Contract for Navajo-Gallup Water Pipeline
The US Bureau of Reclamation announced on June 10 the award of a $75.5 million contract to Flatland Energy Services LLC for horizontal directional drilling on the Block 2-3 Pipeline of the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project. The pipeline segment spans nearly 10,000 feet with diameters of 36 to 42 inches, requiring four critical HDD crossings beneath the Shumway Arroyo, the San Juan River, Nenahnezad Hill and the Chaco River, with individual sections ranging from roughly 2,000 to 3,300 feet. The trenchless approach avoids surface disturbance at sensitive Navajo traditional cultural sites. Construction will run from summer 2026 through autumn 2028, connecting the Frank Chee Willetto Reservoir to the San Juan Lateral Water Treatment Plant. The project serves approximately 250,000 people across 43 Navajo Nation chapters, the City of Gallup and portions of the Jicarilla Apache Nation, with first water deliveries expected by late 2028.
