DeMaCo, the Dutch specialist in cryogenic infrastructure, said that on Tuesday the first batch of the 24 meter LNG-transferlines left DeMaCo for CryoAB in Lysekil, Sweden.
“ This forms an important milestone for both the customer and DeMaCo ,” the company reported.
DeMaCO has last month secured an order to build the LNG transport pipelines for the largest LNG receiving terminal in Scandinavia, to be built by Cryo AB for Skangass.
The receiving terminal will be built next to Preem’s refinery in Lysekil (100 km north of Gothenburg ) on the west coast of Sweden.
Besides delivery of LNG to Preem’s refinery, a truck loading facility will be built in connection to the terminal.
The terminal will also become an important hub for distribution of LNG as fuel for ships.
A shift to LNG as fuel is one of the most effective ways to reduce CO2 emissions and meet stricter environmental requirements.
The gas will come from the LNG plant at Risavika (another LNG project Demaco is working on) near Stavanger.
LNG will be delivered to Lysekil using Skangass LNG carrier – Coral Energy.
The LNG terminal is scheduled to be in operation by the end of 2013, an investment estimated at 55 million EUR.
