ÅF Industry and SSPA win contract on LNG in Europe

DMA, on behalf of a wide range of partners, is leading an effort with participation from Scandinavian countries, Belgium and Holland. The partners span from energy companies, ports, ship owners, etc to make LNG a competitive fuel option. The study will therefore actively engage and target a large number of central stakeholders for the establishment and use of an LNG infrastructure.

A wide range of key experts from ÅF and SSPA will closely cooperate in this study in order to meet all demands in this challenging project. SSPA and ÅF provide considerable experience in energy market analysis, LNG as fuel, bunkering, safety and regulations and infrastructure development. The two companies are just to finalize national studies on location criteria of terminals and LNG market potentials for the Swedish Energigas.

The study will start early May and be finalized in early 2012. It is part of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) – Motorways of the Seas (MoS) and the project, with a budget exceeding 1 million Euros, will end up in a strategic decision paper.
