Frequently asked questions
EemsEnergyTerminal is a floating LNG terminal (FSRU) owned by Gasunie and Vopak, launched in 2022 after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In summer 2025, it transferred over 2 billion cubic metres of gas in three months — about 7% of annual Dutch consumption.
The reference code is NL000282. The office handles clearance of maritime and energy cargo at the port of Eemshaven.
The decision on extending terminal operations beyond 2027 (when LNG contracts expire) was expected by end 2025. Gasunie and Vopak are considering building a permanent terminal or extending FSRU contracts.
Eemshaven is an offshore wind energy hub (servicing North Sea wind farms), a data centre location (Google, Microsoft), a ferry terminal to Borkum (Germany) and a logistics centre for northern Germany.
