SOFIA, May 13 (Reuters) - Corinth Pipeworks, part of Cenergy
Holdings  CENER.BR , has won a 58.2 million euro ($65.39
million) tender to supply line pipes for a gas interconnector
link between Bulgaria and Greece, project company ICGB said.
    The Greek pipe maker was one of three pre-selected
contenders, one of which withdrew from the process and the other
did not meet technical requirements, ICGB said in a statement. 
    Bulgaria plans to have the 182 km (113 mile) pipeline
operational in 2020 to import Azeri gas and end its almost
complete dependence on Russian gas.
    ICGB is expected to pick a winner to build the gas link
later this month.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL5N22536P
