Skangas' Melkøya Plant Sees First Small-Scale LNG Loading
Statoil ASA (Statoil) says it successfully completed the first small scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) loading at the Statoil-operated LNG plant on Melkøya island on October 17, with the delivery of a 100 GWh cargo to Skangas' LNG bunker vessel Coral Energy.
"This terminal is an addition to our existing LNG sources. Having several LNG sources supports our customers and us with additional security of supply and it increases our opportunities," said Kimmo Rahkamo, CEO of Skangas.
"In addition, a future possible supply alternative from the northern part of Norway could make it easier to open up for new deliveries along the entire coast of Norway."
The LNG loaded at Melkøya was delivered to Skangas' terminal in Lysekil, Sweden.
In May, DUX, the first dual-fuel tug ever built in Europe, was delivered to its owner, Østensjø Rederi A/S (Østensjø), prior to being employed to provide tug services to Statoil at theMelkøya terminal.
