Abstract: 
Streszczenie: 

LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) may play an important role in the Baltic Sea Region in the near future – both as an alternative energy source for Baltic countries and as an alternative fuel for ships operating on the Baltic Sea. However, it requires construction of special port infrastructure. At present, a number of LNG terminals are planned to be constructed in Baltic Sea Region in the near future. Some of them are large scale LNG import terminals (Świnoujście, Riga, Klaipeda, Paldiski) and others are smaller scale LNG distribution terminal (Nynäshamn, Gothenburg, Gävle). Construction of infrastructure for distribution of LNG to ships is also essential. LNG is consider as a alternative fuel mainly for ships operating in liner service. Hence, LNG terminals for bunkering purpose should be constructed in locations where there is the most dense liner services.
