WARSAW, May 20 (Reuters) – Poland would be interested in cooperation with Portugal on potential LNG trans-shipping, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Friday after meeting counterpart Antonio Costa.

“Poland is becoming a gas hub, so if we could obtain additional gas (…) we would be most interested in this kind of cooperation with Portugal,” he said.

Costa said Portugal is discussing with several governments the possibility of using the port of Sines as a trans-shipment platform for the transfer of fuel from large vessels to smaller bulk carriers better able to operate in the North and Baltic Seas.
