Skangas Marks Coralius' First LNG Bunkering Operation at Gothenburg
Skangas AS (Skangas) has announced that its new liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunker tanker Coralius supplied LNG to the tanker vessel Ternsund in the Port of Gothenburg, marking the first time the vessel has operated at that port.
"We work closely with both ports and authorities to serve an increasing number of European vessels with LNG," said Gunnar Helmen, Sales Manager Marine in Skangas.
"In this case the Swedish authorities Transportstyrelsen overlooked the operation as they are currently developing LNG guidelines for Swedish ports. Soon, the fleet of LNG driven vessels only with Swedish shipowners will double. Up to now we have bunkered LNG by trucks in the Port of Gothenburg. Our bunkering vessel is yet another manner to meet the demand."
The receiving vessel, Ternsund - as Ship & Bunker has previously reported - is an oil and chemical tanker built in 2016 for the shipping company Terntank Rederi A/S (Terntank).
In September, Skangas marked Coralius' first ship-to-ship bunkering operation, when it provided LNG to the Furetank Rederi AB (Furetank) tanker Fure West.
