Inter Terminals Sweden (ITS) is investing in expanded truck-loading capacity at its Gothenburg terminal to enhance customer flexibility for one of its long-standing customers, Shell. The new equipment is being developed to enable the truck loading of gas-to-liquid (GTL) products.

GTL fuel contains almost no sulphur, nitrogen or aromatic compounds. When used as a fuel, it delivers significant reductions in regulated pollutants compared with conventional diesel, resulting in improved local air quality and strong cold-weather performance. The new truck-loading rack will be used to supply neat EN15940-compliant GTL fuel, as well as G70 fluid for a range of chemical applications.

Beyond facilitating GTL distribution, the investment increases modal diversity and operational flexibility at the Gothenburg terminal. By expanding beyond traditional transport modes to include efficient truck loading of new fuel types, ITS strengthens its ability to respond to evolving customer requirements, market developments and changing logistics patterns. This enhanced flexibility supports more resilient supply chains, reduces reliance on single transport modes and improves overall operational robustness.

The project also creates additional optionality for future product flows, including the integration and expansion of renewable and low-carbon fuels.

Commenting on the investment, Johan Zettergren, Managing Director of Inter Terminals Sweden, said that ITS is experiencing growing demand for additional distribution outlets at its terminals, particularly to support the development and distribution of biofuels. He added that the project represents an important step in that direction and reinforces the company’s commitment to enabling sustainable and efficient energy logistics for the future.
