Klaipėda Port is moving toward its goal of becoming the first in Lithuania and the Baltic States to produce and supply green hydrogen for vessels, various types of port equipment, and private transportation. Construction works will begin soon – a construction permit has been received.

“Klaipėda Port has set an ambitious goal – to become the first in Lithuania and the Baltic region operating a green hydrogen production station. Being the first means stepping into uncharted territory. That is not always easy, but it is undoubtedly worth it. By choosing the green path, Klaipėda Port demonstrates its commitment to the European Union’s and Lithuania’s obligations and is taking bold steps forward: next year, we plan to start producing green hydrogen, and a green hydrogen-powered vessel is already being built,” says Algis Latakas, Director General of the Klaipėda State Seaport Authority.

The construction tender procedure announced by the Klaipėda State Seaport Authority is nearly finished. Construction works are planned to start in June. A specialized site will be developed, with new engineering networks built or existing ones reconstructed (electricity, water supply, domestic and stormwater drainage, hydrogen pipelines, communication lines).
