Skangas has entered into an agreement with members of the Gothia Tanker Alliance to supply them with LNG as fuel.

The new agreement comprises current as well as future LNG-fuelled vessels.

Skangas said Erik Thun AB, Furetank Rederi AB, and Rederi AB Alvtank will be the "main" Swedish shipping firms that will benefit from the LNG supply agreement. In total, they have invested in six new LNG-powered vessels and, together with the existing Fure West, they are all jointly operated by the Gothia Tanker Alliance.

Lars Hoglund, Managing Director of Furetank, remarked: "For newbuilds we focus on energy efficiency and innovations. Together with our choice of cleaner fuel we are experiencing a major reduction in our CO2 emissions, not to forget the reductions in particulate matters and NOX."

The Skangas delivery chain consists of trailer trucks, bunkering from terminals, and Skangas's bunker vessel Coralius.

The Coralius is able to perform ship-to-ship deliveries at anchorage off Gothenburg (Sweden), off Skaw (Denmark) and off Norway, and also within ports during cargo operations.

"Skangas is very happy with the agreement and to continue our relationship with Furetank and the rest of the Gothia Tanker Alliance," said Tommy Mattila, Director Sales and Marketing in Skangas. "Being trusted to supply LNG also for the future vessels is a confirmation that we are delivering as expected. We will continue investing and improving to meet ship owners' demands and expectations."
