Gate unloaded 8.3 million m3 of LNG from 54 vessels (of which 17 transshipments) and loaded 3.9 million m3 of LNG on 23 large vessels (of which 17 transshipments) and 27 small vessels.

The customers holding capacity in Gate nominated 2.5 BCM for regasification into the GTS gas grid (the national gas transmission network in the Netherlands).
