Manga LNG in brief
The Manga LNG Oy natural gas import terminal is a joint venture of the industrial companies Outokumpu and SSAB Europe and the energy company EPV Energy and the LNG company Skangas. The purpose of the terminal is to diversify the gas and fuel markets of the Northern region by providing Northern industry, energy production and shipping with a more environmentally friendly and inexpensive alternative.

"There is interest in LNG in industry, maritime transport and heavy-duty road transport alike. By 2020, there will already be almost 200 ships powered by LNG.
