In June, Norway’s Skangas fuelled the 18,000-dwt tanker newbuilding Fure Vinga with a truckload of liquefied biogas (LBG) bought from its parent company Gasum and supplied as bunkers in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Tommy Mattila, director of sales and marketing at Skangas, says this was only the second time LBG has been used as a marine fuel, and the first for a deepsea vessel.
