Fjord1 picks Gasum to supply LNG for ferries operating a key route
Photo: Gasum/Harald M Valderhaug Espoo, Finland-headquartered energy company Gasum and Norwegian ferry operator Fjord1 have signed a long-term agreement covering the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for a group of ferries operating the daily Arsvågen–Mortavika route connecting Stavanger and Haugesund along Norway’s north-south highway E39. The agreement covers the supply of fuel for four main ferries and one backup ferry.

Fjord1 picks Gasum to supply LNG for ferries operating a key route

“We are very pleased that Fjord1 has selected Gasum as its LNG supplier for this important ferry route. The agreement underlines our ability to provide reliable LNG deliveries for demanding maritime operations thanks to our fully integrated and seamless supply chain,” says Jacob Granqvist, vice president, maritime, at Gasum.     “For Fjord1, reliable fuel supply is essential to maintaining safe and predictable ferry operations on one of Norway’s most important ferry routes,” says Tor Kristoffersen, head of regional operations at Fjord1. “We are pleased to enter into this agreement with Gasum, which supports our focus on operational reliability, efficient logistics and our long-term ambition to provide safe and environmentally friendly transport for our customers, contracting authorities and partners.”      The Arsvågen–Mortavika ferry connection is an important transport link on the Norwegian west coast. Gasum will bunker the ferries truck-to-ship at both ends of the route, requiring precise scheduling to keep ferry operations running smoothly.   Gasum’s extensive supply network of terminals, vessels and trucks makes the company an optimal partner for an operator such as Fjord1 for whom reliability of fuel supply is essential. Gasum supplies LNG and bio-LNG to different types of maritime customers, from service vessels to containerships, across northwestern Europe, offering a layer of flexibility in its bunkering services that allows a seamless transition to low or negative emission bio-LNG either fully or as a blend of any ratio with LNG.
