Nordic energy company Gasum's vessel Coral Energy has delivered liquefied natural gas (LNG) to the Inkoo floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) for the first time.

Coral Energy arrived to Inkoo on Sunday 7 January in the afternoon. At the FSRU the LNG is regasified and fed into the gas pipeline grid in Finland.

The terminal has recently been fitted with the technical capability to load LNG to and from the terminal with smaller vessels, improving flexibility.

Gasum has delivered LNG to the Inkoo FRSU at regular intervals since the Balticconnector gas pipeline between Finland and Estonia suffered a rupture and was shut down in early October.
