Finland’s first floating liquefied natural gas terminal was moored Wednesday at the southern port of Inkoo to replace Russian gas imports.
HELSINKI – Finland’s first floating liquefied natural gas terminal was moored Wednesday at the southern port of Inkoo where it will supply gas to the Nordic country that was cut off from Russian gas imports earlier this year amid the war in Ukraine.
FSRU Exemplar, owned by the U.S. company Excelerate Energy Inc., will ensure future availability of gas in Finland, replacing supplies earlier imported from Russia, the state-owned Gasgrid Finland said, calling the move historic. The Finnish company tweeted a photo and said that the Exemplar “anchors safely” at the Port of Inkoo, located about 60 kilometers west from the capital, Helsinki.
