Investments

In 2009, in the logistics sector, we will continue implementation of the solutions and guidelines adopted in “ORLEN Capital Group Logistics Strategy”, aimed at:

• executing the 3rd stage of the restructuring process by significant optimisation of employment and higher automation of processes at the Fuel Terminals, which will result in better cost efficiency in logistics;
• redefining logistics organisation and management to adjust them to changing external and internal circumstances;
• implementing the “Self-service” programme to obtain higher automation of operations at the Fuel Terminals;
• implementing the “Cavern Strategy”, in particular with respect to long-term measures aimed at improving the operability and safety of the existing underground oil and fuel storages at IKS “Solino” SA, and possible construction of a new underground hydrocarbon storage.

In 2009, we are planning to start a construction project of a product pipeline to connect the Mažeikiai refinery with a selected Baltic port.

We are in the course of construction of 105 km of our own pipeline between Ostrów Wielkopolski and Wrocław.
