Skangas has successfully bunkered the product tanker, Ternsund, in a quick and safe operation for the first time directly from the LNG terminal in Pori.

The first shipload of liquefied natural gas (LNG) arrived at the Gasum’s subsidiary Skangas LNG terminal in Pori on Sunday July 10th . To be completed in August, the facility is the first LNG import terminal in Finland. LNG was brought with the time chartered Skangas Coral Energy carrier from the North West Europe.

Skangas has made the first delivery of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for Polaris – the world's first LNG-powered icebreaker. Polaris is a dual-fuel icebreaker using LNG as the primary fuel and diesel as a reserve fuel.

Skangass announced that it will make LNG more readily available as marine fuel in the area Skagerrak, Kattegat and Baltic Sea by operating the Coralius, a new specialised bunker vessel. Skangass has entered into a long-term agreement for the vessel, which will offer greater flexibility by operating as a ship-to-ship bunker vessel, as well as a feeder. The new bunker vessel will be ready in early 2017. Skangass has a profound belief in the potential growth of LNG as fuel for the marine market. Consequently, the company has taken another major step in developing this market by entering into a long-term charter for the 5.800 m3 bunker vessel Coralius. The vessel will provide easy access to LNG bunkering to customers and limit the operational impact of calling a port in order to bunker. During the design phase, great emphasis has been placed on the ship’s systems for ship-to-ship operation to ensure that she is optimised to perform LNG bunkering offshore. “Recently, we entered into our first ship-to-ship bunker contract with NEOT in Finland. Building the new vessel Coralius is the natural step for meeting this demand, and further developing our marine LNG supply chain. Although we already satisfy our marine ...

Skangass and North European Oil Trade (NEOT) have agreed on a supply contract for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to NEOT’s coming time chartered vessels entering into operation in 2016. The contract is valid for supply of LNG in the region of Lysekil-Gothenburg-Skaw and is also one of the first ship-to-ship bunker contracts for LNG in Europe. “This is our first ship-to-ship bunker contract and we are very pleased with being chosen as LNG supplier for NEOT serving their new vessels”, says Tor Morten Osmundsen, CEO for Skangass and continues;” LNG has a fantastic potential as fuel for vessels and we are determined to further develop the infrastructure to serve the market with LNG in an attractive way. A ship-to-ship supply solution is the logical development for bunkering of LNG in the future as the vessels using LNG as fuel seems to be enlarging.” Today Skangass offer supply of LNG to marine customers by truck-to-ship, terminals-to-ship and ship-to-ship, whatever is the swiftest and best solution for the ship owner. The agreement with NEOT confirms the effort of making LNG available for the marine market. It further confirms the increasing LNG demand. This can be related to LNG being price competitive and ...
