The Finnish energy firm has delivered an undisclosed volume of LNG by truck to Sweden-based tanker company Furetank’s vessel Ramira.

The Port of Tolkkinen is located next to the Porvoo refinery in Finland. “Gasum can now supply LNG and bio-LNG to vessels calling at ports in the Porvoo region,” the energy firm said.

Earlier this week, the company announced that its LNG bunkering vessel Coralius will begin running entirely on bio-LNG from this month.

Additionally, in May, Gasum announced that its LNG bunker vessel Kairos will run on waste-based bio-LNG, generating overcompliance under the company’s FuelEU pooling scheme.
