Dutch Gate LNG terminal in the port of Rotterdam is scheduled to receive a cargo of the chilled gas from Statoil’s Hammerfest plant in Norway.
The 147,980 cbm Arctic Princess is expected to arrive at Gate around October 5, according to shipping data.
The first Dutch LNG import terminal, owned by Gasunie and Vopak, has in September started offering transshipment services after it completed adjusting the terminal’s two jetties.
This service ensures cargo transshipment directly between two LNG tankers without the chilled gas passing through one of Gate’s three 180,000 cbm tanks.
