“Innovative predecessors”

The motivation for the nomination of Terntank reads:

Ternsund is the first ship ever bunkering with LNG in the port of Gothenburg. Together with its newly built sisters, Ternsund will trade european harbor without releasing sulfur and particles. “Ternsund is an innovative precursor at the forefront of a greener shipping. Through courage, dedication and innovation, Terntank is a model in the development towards the future of shipping. ”

Tryggve Möller at Terntank says that the shipping company will of course continue to work hard to reduce the ecological footprint to a minimum.

“We are extremely grateful to win the Gold Drop with such a starting field,” says Tryggve Möller at Terntank
