Skangas, Gothia Alliance Sign LNG Supply Deal
Wednesday October 31, 2018
Swedish tanker group Gothia Tanker Alliance has firmed up the supply of liquified natural gas (LNG) as marine fuel for its members' ships under a deal with LNG distributor Skangas.
The agreement is to supply "current as well as new vessels with LNG propulsion soon to come", the company said in a statement.
Gothia shipping companies forming part of the deal include Furetank, Erik Thun and Alvtank.
Between them, the companies have six, new LNG-fuelled ships.
LNG is seen as a viable alternative to oil-derived bunker fuel. Sweden, and Scandinavian countries in general, have established distribution networks for small-scale LNG.
Skangas is a subsidiary of Finnish gas player Gasum.
