Gate breakbulk

Vopak has held a ceremony to mark the start of construction of a breakbulk facility at the Gate LNG terminal in Rotterdam.

 

The Port of Rotterdam has already started the excavation of a new harbour basin next to Gate terminal. The Break bulk facility will allow Vopak and joint shareholder Gasunie to split large-scale LNG shipments into smaller parcels.

 

This will enable easier distribution and use of LNG as a cleaner fuel alternative for maritime vessels, ferries, trucks and industrial applications.

 

At Gate, LNG is received, stored, reloaded or regasified for the Northwest European gas grid. These activities have formed the basis for the current development of small-scale services.
