The vessel operates under contract with the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency, which is responsible for Finland’s icebreaking services and for making sure that Finland’s harbors can be accessed throughout the year. The Tornia LNG terminal is one of two LNG bunkering terminals currently in Finland which is opened in 2018 with features of LNG bunkering and LNG vaporizing facilities.
