The LNG carrier Vivit Americas LNG has brought a full cargo of LNG to Floating LNG Terminal Finland’s Exemplar vessel in Inkoo. The ship arrived at Inkoo port the 2nd of April. The loading went as planned and the gas was fed into the gas network for use by industry, energy production and households.

“We are very pleased to the visit and also to notice that the cooperation of the operators of the Inkoo terminal area during the operations was successful. It is good to continue with this for the next deliveries during the spring. In mid-April, we are also inviting to reserve capacity for the next gas year, which starts on 1 October 2023”, says Satu Mattila, CEO of Gasgrid’s Floating LNG Terminal Finland Oy.

Floating LNG Terminal Finland Oy is a subsidiary of Gasgrid Finland, founded in 2022, which operates floating LNG terminal. The LNG terminal started operating in January 2023 in the port of Inkoo. The terminal ensures gas supply not only in Finland but also in the Baltics. The ship’s liquefied natural gas is vaporized into gas and fed into Gasgrid’s gas network for delivery to industry and energy plants.

LNG is supplied from the global gas market. Reloading typically takes about a day. The ship’s vaporization capacity is more than 40 TWh per year, exceeding Finland’s annual natural gas usage requirement, which has typically been around 25 TWh per year.
