Dec 12 (LNGJ) - Skangas, the Nordic LNG operator and supplier, signed a preliminary accord with the UK National Grid and its Isle of Grain LNG import terminal to acquire supplies to be loaded onto small-scale carriers at the facility, located on the Medway River southeast of London. “Grain LNG, which operates primarily as a large-scale import terminal, is firmly committed to developing an LNG break-bulk marine facility to make it possible for small vessels to reload and bunker LNG,” said Skangas. The UK facility is set to offer small-scale ship reloading at its terminal in Kent. “We believe the best way to encourage growth in the market is to offer competitive alternatives which ensure security of supply for small-scale participants” said Nicola Duffin, Commercial Manager at Grain LNG.
