Gate terminal simultaneously reloads two LNG carriers for the first time
For the first time in its history, the Gate terminal in Rotterdam simultaneously reloaded two LNG carriers – Wilgas and the Coral Methane – on 4 September 2014. Reloading of LNG at Gate started in 2013. Since the modifications of the existing jetties to accommodate smaller ships, the terminal has carried out 16 operations for these types of vessels. The investment decision for the construction of a new break bulk terminal was taken on 1 July 2014, which comprises a dedicated berth for small scale tankers and barges to enable future growth.
Gate terminal, a joint venture of Gasunie and Vopak, began operations in September 2011. It contributes to diversifying the European gas supply by receiving, storing and regasifying LNG originating from countries around the world. The LNG is then fed into the northwest-European gas grid. In January 2014, Gate successfully launched a tank truck loading station for trucks and containers, with a total capacity of 5,000 trucks per year.
