The Nordic energy company Gasum started operations at its new bunkering station for liquefied gas at Port of Nynäshamn The new station includes new bunkering solutions enabling ships to bunker the chilled fuel the new bunkering station is ready to serve existing and new customers It enables bunkering at high speed from two trucks at the same time The station set-up and the specialized trucks now being used allows bunkering to take place at the same time as unloading or loading operations Ferries were earlier bunkered using single trucks which was both time consuming and affected the ferries’ main operations and schedule The new bunkering station is frequently used by two of Destination Gotland’s gas ferries “The station’s fit-for-purpose high-speed pumps allow the bunkering operation to take just 45 minutes Passengers disembark and embark and goods are unloaded and loaded while bunkering High precision and prompt deliveries from our side are needed in order to keep to the vessels’ ordinary schedule,” noted Jonas Åkermark The station is located at Port of Stockholm premises very close to the existing Gasum LNG terminal Gasum’s LNG trucks transport the fuel a short distance of 5 kilometers from the terminal to the station Gasum supplies both liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied biogas (LBG) or a blend of the two from the station Ships blending LBG into their fuel will reduce their CO2 emissions as biogas causes zero environmental emissions Daily news and in-depth stories in your inbox The Pioneers of Offshore Engineering GustoMSC part of NOV’s

Stena Flavia and Stena Livia will operate on Liepaja-Travemünde Nothing's prettier than a good Swedish summer but before heading to the beach Ain’t nothing prettier than a good Swedish summer But before you pack your picnic basket and gather towels and suntan lotions check if the beach to which you’re heading is actually approved of by the European Union Many Swedish beaches unfortunately end up at the bottom of EU’s list of approved beaches because of poor water quality ”We have a great number of beaches which the EU states are impossible to classify,” says microbiologist Anneli Carlander at Folkhälsomyndigheten (the Public Health Agency of Sweden) In total 446 Swedish beaches have been investigated for intestinal bacteria managed to pass EU’s minimal criteria and received the assessment ”good enough” regarding quality of water The average of other countries whose beaches were investigated was 94.5 percent But 20 percent of Sweden’s beaches couldn’t get classified at all ”Those beaches have at some point during the past years missed being tested,” Carlander explains so the result is a bit misleading.” One explanation for why Swedish beaches don’t fare better on EU’s list may be that the beach season in Sweden is not as long as in the countries around the Mediterranean it’s not noticed as much as it is for us,” Carlander says The following beaches were deemed as having poor water quality: Nickstabadet in Nynäshamn The two E-Flexer (MkII) ferries are currently being built at the CMI Jinling Shipyard in China Swedish ferry company Stena Line is set to deploy
