Thanks to the continued agreement, the ferry company will operate its Aurora Botnia between Vaasa and Umeå on the bio version of liquefied natural gas (bioLNG) through 2027.

"BioLNG provided by Gasum is a fully renewable fuel with life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions that are, on average, 90% lower when compared with fossil fuel use. When produced using livestock waste, the emission reduction from biogas can even reach beyond 100%," the bunker provider stated in a press release.

Peter Ståhlberg, Managing Director, Wasaline, commented, "BioLNG has played a central role in reducing our environmental footprint, and, together with batteries, eventually in establishing the first credible green shipping corridor across the Baltic Sea. Gasum has proven to be a dependable partner for us in this effort. Gasum's ability to deliver stable, high-quality bioLNG is essential to our strategy, and we look forward to continuing the cooperation."

Gasum's VP Maritime, Jacob Granqvist, also shared, "Gasum is proud to continue supporting Wasaline's ambition to lead the way in sustainable shipping. We value our long-term partnership with Wasaline very highly. Partnerships like this, built on trust and operational excellence, have made it possible for us to develop our capabilities and offering in bioLNG to the high level it is at today."
