Finnish energy company Gasum has delivered a cargo of liquefied natural gas (LNG) procured from Germany’s SEFE (European Energy Security) to the Inkoo floating storage regasification unit (FSRU).
The size of the LNG cargo is approximately 800 GWh and, as already mentioned, is supplied by SEFE, and more specifically by SEFE Marketing & Trading, a wholly owned subsidiary of SEFE.It’s from America
Gasum said this is the fourth large LNG cargo the company has delivered to Inkoo FRSU since the Baltic Connector gas pipeline connecting Finland and Estonia ruptured and was shut down in early October.
Gasum said the company delivered a small 100GWh cargo to the gas grid on its LNG carrier Coral Energy in early January to ensure system balance and reduce the risk of gas shortages during the frigid season. He said he did.
“While the pipeline is being repaired, all of Finland’s natural gas needs will have to be met by LNG imports.” Gasm said so.
In addition to this shipment, Gasum said the company has secured another slot on Inkoo FSRU for the second half of the winter season, and these two cargoes will allow the company to meet customers’ natural gas needs through spring 2024. He pointed out that he could definitely respond.
Joni Liematta Gasum’s Head of Trading and Optimization commented: “We have worked hard to secure winter natural gas supplies for our customers whose businesses depend on a reliable gas supply.”
“We are very pleased to have secured an ice-classified LNG carrier for our winter needs through an offer from SEFE Marketing & Trading Ltd. as local gas demand has increased due to the cold season. A wide network of cooperation in difficult situations.”
As a reminder, Finland’s first FSRU-based terminal was commissioned in early 2023. When fully loaded, it can accommodate approximately 68,000 tons of LNG, which is equivalent to approximately 1,050 GWh of energy.
