Sunday booking for gas transit via Ukraine at maximum level

MOSCOW. March 20 (Interfax) - The Ukrainian gas transport corridor's utilization ratio remained at the maximum level in line with a long-term contract of 40 bcm per annum, or 109 mcm per day, on Sunday.

According to data provided by the Gas Transmission System (GTS) Operator of Ukraine, nomination for March 20 was at 106.6 mcm, unchanged from March 19.

The Yamal-Europe gas pipeline transporting gas via Belarus and Poland to Germany was put in the reverse mode on Tuesday and has since continued working in this direction. Gas shipments from Germany to Poland, a withdrawal of additional gas volumes from the main European hubs, are another element of current high gas prices in the EU.
