Shipping company Terntank has recently became the first operator to take on liquefied gas and liquified biogas at the new bunkering facility at the Port of Gothenburg. The facility, owned and operated by Swedgas, allows tankers to bunker from a fixed pipeline as they load and discharge, reducing the turnaround time. The company believes that with LNG as a marine fuel, shipping is about to take a major step forward in the transition process, breaking away from its reliance on oil and moving boldly towards more environmentally smart alternatives. In 2015, the Port Authority introduced an environmental discount on the port charge as part of a drive to increase the number of calls by vessels powered by LNG.
