On Tuesday, May 14th, Stena Oil new terminal in Frederikshavn was inaugurated. The terminal, which has a capacity of 75,000 cubic meters, is a flexible facility prepared for the green transition in the marine fuel market moving forward.
“We are very pleased to be up and running with operations in Frederikshavn. Our official opening attracted a large number of guests, mostly international customers, which we take as proof that this new setup is right,” says Jonas Persson, MD of Stena Oil.
The new oil terminal complements operations in Gothenburg and provides efficient infrastructure. The terminal is designed to handle various types of fuels, and over the year, a newly built bunker vessel will be put into operation, capable of handling several types of fuels including biofuels and methanol. One of the customers that will be served from Frederikshavn is Stena Line with its routes on the Kattegat.
“This is an advanced and flexible terminal with large capacity. Frederikshavn’s geographical location brings us closer to our customers and allows us to offer even more efficient delivery with environmental benefits and solutions for future fuels,” says Jonas Persson.
This collaboration between Frederikshavn and Stena Oil highlights the city’s importance as a key player in the maritime industry, offering efficient fuel services and contributing to sustainable transport in the region. The mayor of Frederikshavn, Birgit S. Hansen, was part of the inauguration and is proud to see the terminal up and running.
“We are very pleased with our collaboration with Stena Oil. The strategic location of Frederikshavn makes the port a maritime hub for both regional and international trade passing through the Kattegat. It has now revealed yet another opportunity: a state-of-the-art bunker terminal,” says Birgit S. Hansen, Mayor of Frederikshavn Municipality.
About Stena Oil
We are the leading supplier of marine fuels in the Nordic countries and provide full-service marine solutions for vessels in the Skagerrak, Kattegat, and the North Sea.
Founded in 1980, Stena Oil forms a part of one of the world’s largest ferry-line and tanker operators, the Stena Sphere.

Quality is the keyword in our business, and with more than 35 years of experience, we can handle ship owners’ every need.
Located in the port of Gothenburg, our storage facility features a dedicated tank farm through which the majority of products we handle will pass. This allows us to provide our customers with an exceptional bunkering experience and top-quality service.
Our own fully owned and exclusive pipeline system in the port offers us no delays and 24-hour loading. All fuel oil and distillate products are refinery-sourced from the local region. At our terminal in the port of Gothenburg, we handle and store petroleum products; hence, the terminal is classed as a Seveso plant. This requires special attention to safety and how to handle accidents.
