Background

SOCAR's oil transshipment terminal in Kulevi was put into operation in 2008. The terminal's capacity is 10 million tons of bulk oil cargoes annually. There was a proposal to add an LNG terminal to the industrial complex, but in 2016 SOCAR called off the plans citing the low utilization of natural gas. The Kulevi LNG terminal was part of the AGRI interconnector project.
