Netherlands LNG operator EemsEnergyTerminal and Belgian shipping group Exmar are planning to convert a large LNG carrier into a floating storage and regasification (FSRU) import terminal at Eemshaven.

The proposal would extend operations at the northern Netherlands port beyond September 2027, when the original floating LNG terminal contract is due to expire. Currently the terminal operates as a joint venture between Gasunie and Vopak.
