Skangas first small-scale LNG loading at Statoil terminal

Skangas successfully completed the first small scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) loading at the Statoil operated LNG plant at Melkøya island outside Hammerfest in Norway. Statoil delivered the cargo of 100 GWh to Skangas’ vessel Coral Energy.

The operation was conducted on the large-scale jetty at Melkøya LNG plant. The jetty is constructed for conventional sized LNG vessels. As a comparison Skangas’ vessel Coral Energy is a small to medium scale LNG carrier with a capacity of 15 600 m3. In the Nordics her main task is to serve Skangas’ customers and terminals with LNG.

Skangas continues to deliver LNG to Statoil’s supply vessels from several bases in Norway. In Northern Europe, Skangas’ new LNG bunker vessel Coralius makes LNG increasingly available for the marine market.
