During the European Gas Conference in Vienna, Gate terminal in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, was named ‘LNG Project of the Year’.
According to the jury Gate terminal ‘will serve as an independent distribution point for European energy companies to address the rising demand for and declining production of natural gas in North-West Europe. The terminal will both increase the security of supplies and enable new players to enter the European gas market’.
