LNG will be delivered flexibly to customers

The Tornio terminal's LNG storage capacity is 50,000 cbm. LNG will be delivered to customers in the Röyttä industrial area in gasified form via a connection pipeline and to industrial customers and filling stations by road using road tankers. Ships will mainly receive road tanker deliveries or will be bunkered directly from the terminal.

The Tornio LNG terminal will serve the entire Bay of Bothnia region as well as industrial and mining operators, maritime transport and heavy-duty road transport in Northern Finland, Sweden and Norway.

The main users of LNG will include the Outokumpu Tornio steel mill, EPV Energy and SSAB Raahe. Maritime transport customers will include LNG-powered cargo ships and the new icebreaker Polaris.

The gas will arrive at Tornio from sources in the Gasum production portfolio such as the Risavika LNG production plant in Norway and other sources. The LNG will be delivered to Tornio by Gasum's time-chartered 18,000 cbm Ice Class 1A Super tanker Coral EnergICE.
