Klaipedos Nafta Fights German Bid to Delay Baltic LNG Link

Klaipedos Nafta AB, Lithuania’s energy terminal operator, said it would defend a possible lawsuit by PPS Pipeline Systems GmbH over the award of a contract to link a natural-gas terminal to the country’s grid.

PPS Pipeline Systems wants a court to annul the tender that a Lithuanian group won on Dec. 20 with a bid of 138 million litai ($53 million), Klaipedos Nafta spokeswoman Indre Miliniene said today in an e-mailed statement. The tender result was “fair and transparent” and the company will defend it in court, if necessary, Miliniene said.
