The terminal in Swinoujscie was supposed to ensure the energy security of our country. In turn, the tunnel under the Strait of Pigs was supposed to improve communication in the city. Meanwhile, thousands of tourists come to the seaside resort to view and take pictures amid the new investment. Thanks to this, the city can count on promotion in social networks.
On Saturday, March 11, the first gas carrier of the Orlen fleet arrived in Poland. One of the most modern ships in the world delivered almost 70,000 people to the terminal in Swinoujscie. tons of liquefied natural gas. Such a load of blue fuel after expansion of the gas to a volatile state is sufficient to cover the average weekly consumption of natural gas in all households in Poland.
The terminal ensures energy security. And promotes Swinoujscie
- This is a historic day for Poland. We ensured safe gas supplies for all Poles. We did it for Poland, for Poles and for the whole region Daniel Obaitek, President of Orlen, said at a specially organized press conference in Swinoujscie.
The word region had a special meaning here both for the inhabitants of the city and for its authorities. Before starting their coverage, all Russian media reported on the place of delivery of energy resources. The name of the city Swinoujscie was everywhere.
The terminal is a good investment. He has grown into the cityscape
- This is another delivery of raw materials to the gas terminal in Swinoujscie, which proves how correct the decision was to place it in our city. Janusz Żmurkiewicz, mayor of Świnoujście, says in an interview with Wprost.pl. - The LNG terminal is an investment of strategic importance for our country. As mayor of Swinoujscie, I supported him from the very beginning and supported the political initiative to build a terminal in our city. He says.
- Today, in an era of energy crisis and market turmoil, it is even more obvious how successful the decision to build it was. The terminal has grown into the landscape of the city, as well as gas carriers that regularly appear on the roads, delivering gas to the gas terminal. he adds.
The terminal is a must-visit when traveling
Near the terminal, you can see many groups of hikers who came here for the weekend. Everyone is convinced that the terminal is one of the must-see tourist attractions not to be missed. There are also those who came for one day to walk along the beach and take pictures against the backdrop of huge LNG tanks. Seconds later, more photos of the terminal in the background appeared on social media.
We meet many tourists on the nearby beach. Taking a picture in front of the terminal or the first gas carrier belonging to the Orlen fleet is a must for hikers. The next trip plan will be another investment in Swinoujscie.
First the terminal, then the tunnel under Swine.
This is one of the most famous tunnels in the country. According to Mayor Zhmurkevich, in just a few years, the next obvious element after the terminal, which will become a permanent part of the urban landscape, will be a tunnel built under the Strait of Pigs.
- The opening of the tunnel is a historic moment for the city. This is an event that Swinoujscie has been waiting for since the end of the war. This is a dream come true for several generations of residents. he points. - When this first impression passes, when we learn how to use it, then it will become another element that influences the image of the city. - claims.
The tunnel will change the lives of residents and tourists. The whole city will feel the change
Progress on this investment has already exceeded 90%. The final finishing work is currently underway. All installations and devices are installed. Bituminous laying will start soon. According to the mayor, the completion of this investment will completely change daily life in the city.
- The tunnel will improve the way to move around the islands and will allow you to freely leave the island of Learn. Queues at ferry crossings will disappear, both for residents and tourists. The latter will also be able to go directly to the place where they bought their accommodation, instead of standing in a long line for the ferry, which was not uncommon during the tourist season. he adds. Analyzes by officials show that the opening of the tunnel will also have a significant impact on the city.
- This could affect the housing market as the availability of resources in Usedom will further increase. This may help to reduce prices in tender procedures, as the need to travel by ferry increases the cost of some of our services. Mayor Zhmurkevich says.
Tunnel in Swinoujscie. Traveling from one island to another takes a few minutes
The tunnel will allow families, one of whom lives on Wolin Island and the other on Oznam Island, to reach each other in a few minutes, rather than dozens as before. According to the president, the tunnel will also have an impact on tourism. - The tourist potential of the tunnel will certainly be revealed very soon. Świnoujście will become more accessible to day-trippers who have so far avoided the city due to communication barriers. For some time it will be an attraction, a novelty, because this is the first tunnel in our region. he points.
This will also influence the choice of this place during the upcoming holidays. Although the city can not complain about the arrival of tourists. - Even during the pandemic years, thanks to the good publicity of the city as a safe resort with the widest beaches in Poland, where visitors can spend their free time, we had a record number of tourists per season. - claims.
- Thanks to the expansion of the tourist base, thanks to the good position of the city on the tourist map, we expect that there will be more and more people who want to come. – convinces President Swinoujscie.
Officials are already thinking about an intelligent traffic management system
Two major public investments will change the image of Świnoujście for years to come. However, local authorities do not intend to stop there and are already planning further actions. - Now we will create an intelligent traffic management system in the city to improve the movement between the islands after the tunnel is opened. There are many plans, time will tell what will be implemented and when Mayor Zhmurkevich says.
- A significant part of our budget is occupied by capital expenditures. We are modernizing the main roads in the city, an eastern bypass road has been created, and the Mulnik service center has been put into operation, which can be used by companies and local entrepreneurs, as well as a kindergarten and paths for teenagers. - claims.
- We know how to use external funds and numerous subsidies. As a result, in Swinoujscie, besieged by tourists, unique promenades were created and the Arena, popular among the residents of Usedom, with a pool complex and a sports ground. he lists.
