Hamina LNG announced the milestone operation in a social media post during the weekend.
“This is an important milestone for our terminal and a strong signal of Hamina LNG’s growing role as a reliable, flexible, and service-oriented energy infrastructure partner in the Baltic Sea region,” it said.
The LNG terminal operator, owned by a joint venture consisting of Finland’s Hamina Energy, tech firm Wartsila, and Estonia’s energy company Alexela, did not provide further details.
Based on the image published by Hamina LNG, it appears that the LNG terminal operator bunkered one of Terntank’s LNG-powered product tankers.
Hamina LNG is the only onshore terminal in Finland, while the country has the Gasgrid-operated FSRU-based LNG import facility in Inkoo.
The terminal, which launched commercial operations in October 2022, provides storage services from one 30,000-cbm LNG tank as well as regasification and injection services into the Finnish gas transmission network with a daily capacity of 6,000 MWh.
Other services include LNG truck loading, vessel unloading and loading, and bunkering.
