Refinery PCK – oil arrives via Gdansk – economy

After the import stop for Russian oil to Germany, the first alternative delivery of oil is on its way to the PCK refinery in Brandenburg via the port of Gdansk. A delivery of crude oil via the port of Gdansk will arrive this week, a spokeswoman for the Federal Ministry of Economics said on Monday. “A tanker from Rotterdam docked in Gdansk.” Oil over Gdansk was expected in January. Oil from Kazakhstan should also flow. Since the turn of the year, according to the will of the federal government, no more Russian oil has come via the Druschba pipeline to the PCK refinery in Schwedt/Oder in Brandenburg and to Leuna in Saxony-Anhalt. For PCK, crude oil initially flows via the port of Rostock, which means that the refinery’s capacity utilization is a little over 50 percent. According to the federal government, the PCK should be 70 percent occupied with oil via Gdansk in the future. In addition, crude oil is said to come from Kazakhstan. According to the PCK, nine out of ten cars in Berlin and Brandenburg run on fuel from Schwedt. The federal government gave a two-year employment guarantee for the plant with 1,200 employees. There is also funding for the renovation.
