Skangas said it signed a deal with Norwegian oil giant Statoil for a small-scale LNG reload to take place at the Klaipeda LNG Terminal in Lithuania.

“We see this latest agreement as a confirmation of the two companies’ common interest to promote LNG in order to continuously develop the small-scale LNG market,” said Tor Morten Osmundsen, CEO of Skangas.
Skangas said its new LNG feeder and bunker ship Coralius will be ready to serve ships by mid 2017.
