The Port of Turku, which is located south west Finland, has announced that a contract has been signed technology, engineering and project management company Neste Jacobs, to investigate the potential of using liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the Turku region.
The port hopes to install an LNG terminal in the Pansio harbour area to reduce emissions from ships and to serve maritime traffic, public transport and local industry needs. Previously, LNG has been used in the area on the Viking Grace passenger ferry, and in 2012 the port signed a letter of intent with Gasum to build an import terminal for LNG in the harbour.
The port hopes to drive expansion of LNG by ensuring guaranteed availability and a distribution network in Finland at a competitive price.
