Recently, Gasum announced that Finland’s first LNG import terminal, located in Pori, has officially commenced operations. Neste Jacobs has now released a statement celebrating the completion of the engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) work that it carried out between 2014 and 2016.

The terminal features state-of-the-art engineering solutions for unloading vessels, storing LNG, ship bunkering operations, truck loading, and the distribution of regasified LNG via pipeline to an industrial park.
