Gate Terminal Completes Fourth LNG Tank Construction

The Gate terminal in Rotterdam has completed the construction of its fourth LNG storage tank. The new tank will be commissioned on October 1, three years after the start of construction. This expansion increases the terminal's storage and regasification capacity, strengthening the energy supply and security for the Netherlands and Northwest Europe.

The new tank has a storage capacity of 180,000 cubic meters of LNG. The decision to build an additional tank was partly in response to the 2022 energy crisis. With this expansion, Gate's total capacity will be increased by 4 billion cubic meters per year, bringing it to 20 billion cubic meters per year.

Jarmo Stoopman, Managing Director at Gate terminal, said: 'With the commissioning of this fourth tank, we achieve an important milestone. Gate is expanding its capacity and strengthening its role as a strategic gateway for the energy supply of the Netherlands and Northwest Europe.'
