Background

Tornio Manga LNG Terminal is a liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification terminal in Lapland, close to the Swedish border. The project was built by Manga Terminal Oy, a joint venture of Outokumpu Group (45%), Svenskt Stål AB (SSAB) (25%), Skangas (25%), and EPV Energy (5%).

Environmental impact assessments were completed in 2013. A financial statement from Gasum at the end of fiscal year 2013 noted the establishment of Manga LNG, with the intention of building an import terminal; December 2013 is presumed to be the proposal date.

The construction contract was signed with Finnish firm Wärtsilä in December 2013. In 2014, the Finnish state awarded a subsidy of €33,155,400 for construction of the terminal. The final investment decision was reached in December 2014, and construction began in August 2015 and was scheduled to be completed in July 2018. Gas from the terminal was expected to be used by industries, mines, and gas consumers located in northern Finland and northern Sweden.

The terminal originally was finished and received its first LNG in November 2017, but after a year-long delay, it was not fully commissioned until June 2019.
