The final LNG tank at Gate Terminal, located at Maasvlakte, has been successfully built and put into operation. Gate Terminal is a collaboration between Gasunie and Vopak. The new storage facility has a capacity of 180,000 cubic meters of LNG, bringing the terminal's total capacity to 20 billion cubic meters annually. This represents two-thirds of the entire Dutch gas market.
Meanwhile, the Port of Rotterdam Authority is constructing a fourth jetty for Gate Terminal, which is anticipated to begin small-scale ship loading and bunkering operations by the end of 2028. A fifth jetty is being evaluated by Gate to determine if there is enough market demand. The terminal receives LNG via ships, stores it temporarily in its liquid state, and later prepares it for delivery to users in the Netherlands and neighboring countries through the gas transmission network. This expansion enhances the terminal's capacity to supply LNG from various global sources.
