RasGas LNG Delivery Arrives in Rotterdam

RasGas Company Limited (RasGas) has delivered its first commercial liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargo to GATE (Gas Access Terminal Europe) in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

This short-term sale marks the company’s latest expansion into western Europe, giving RasGas’ a complete and comprehensive market penetration – according to a company statement.

RasGas established its presence in the European market in 2007. As well as regular deliveries to Zeebrugge in Belgium, RasGas has also made over 80 deliveries to the Isle of Grain and Dragon terminals in the UK. Last October, the company made its first delivery to South Hook terminal in the UK, giving it access to all three major LNG regasification terminals in the UK.

“As Europe continues to work towards meeting CO2 emission targets, we are seeing more interest in LNG as a cleaner fuel. RasGas’ expanding reach in the European market allows for even higher flexibility in delivering LNG to the region’s liquid trading points,” said Khalid Sultan R. Al-Kuwari of RasGas.
