The Port of Rotterdam and Gate Terminal are expanding LNG bunkering capacity by constructing a new dock in the Yukonhaven. This development is driven by the growing demand for LNG as a ship fuel, with plans to begin construction this year and complete it by mid-2027.

The new dock will be approximately 160 meters long, accommodating both sea and inland vessels, and will help reduce waiting times for LNG bunker ships. The project will also involve deepening the harbor area. Gate Terminal, a joint venture between Gasunie and Vopak, is the primary LNG terminal in Rotterdam, which is the largest bunker port in Europe.
