The Ambassador of Lithuania in France Jolanta Balčiūnienė, the Minister Counsellor of the Embassy Lina Terra and Attaché for Commercial Affairs Rūta Šokaitienė took part in the solemn opening ceremony of the warehouse. The Head of Marketing Department of Port Authority Kristina Gontier also attended this ceremony.

During the ceremony, the Ambassador of Lithuania in France Jolanta Balčiūnienė expressed her wish that the opening of a new warehouse „Lietuva“ would contribute to further cooperation between ports of Klaipėda and Fecamp.

The delegation of abovementioned port made an introductory visit to Klaipėda port on 1 June 2009 with the aim to discuss the potential capacities for shipping of  fertilizers through Klaipėda port.
