Stena Oil, a subsidiary of Stena Terminals A/S, has officially taken possession of the new fuel terminal in Frederikshavn. The takeover agreement between Stena Oil and the Port of Frederikshavn was signed at the end of last week, marking the successful collaboration between the two parties.
Jonas Persson, Managing Director of Stena Oil, expressed satisfaction with the partnership, stating, “We have a good collaboration with the Port of Frederikshavn, and we have maintained an ongoing dialogue throughout the entire process. Our focus has consistently been to kickstart our operations in Frederikshavn, and we are pleased that we have now achieved that goal.”
The new terminal in Frederikshavn will provide Stena Oil with a more efficient infrastructure and complement their existing operations in Gothenburg. In addition, a newly built bunkering vessel will be deployed in the first quarter of this year to handle various types of fuels, including biofuels and methanol. One of the key customers to be served from Frederikshavn is Stena Line, with its ferry routes in Denmark and the Kattegat.
With a capacity of 75,000 cubic metres, the terminal in Frederikshavn will bring Stena Oil closer to its customers, allowing for more efficient delivery with environmental benefits and solutions for future fuels, according to Jonas Persson.
Mikkel Seedorff Sørensen, CEO of the Port of Frederikshavn, expressed his excitement about Stena Oil’s entry into Frederikshavn, stating, “The startup of Stena Oil’s activities is a major milestone for Port of Frederikshavn, and it is with the greatest pleasure that we can now finally welcome Stena Oil to Frederikshavn.”
The terminal is located in the new areas of the port, which were expanded from 2016-2020 and have a water depth of 14 meters. Mikkel Seedorff Sørensen attributed the successful completion of the bunker terminal to the close collaboration between Stena Oil and the Port of Frederikshavn, and he looks forward to the increasing level of activity that the bunker operations will bring to the port.
