History

In March, 2012 the Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin pressed the symbolical button of start of the second queue of the Baltic Pipeline System (BTS-2). Within test start from the port of Ust-Luga the first tanker ("Nevsky Avenue") with oil goes to export.
The second tanker will leave oil port on Baltika on March 26, 2012. According to the deputy minister of Energy Yury Sentyurin, oil supply rate for export on BTS-2 through Ust-Luga will be in the second quarter 2012 3.6 million tons.
