In the early 2010s, the town of Drachten in the northern part of the Netherlands underwent a transformation.
A new harbor area was built, and it was quickly recognized as a logistical crossway, connecting the town to major water and highway routes.
The new harbor area is situated next to water, making it an excellent location for the establishment of an LNG storage depot for spare parts.
Drachten is easily accessible through the main highway A7 and has the advantage of being located next to the water.
LNG depot location ideal for many reasons
The location of the LNG depot in Drachten is ideal for many reasons. It is only an hour and 15 minutes from Amsterdam Airport, making it easy for international partners to visit.
Additionally, the depot is connected to the main water routes, which makes it easier to transport LNG to other parts of the Netherlands or neighboring countries.
LNG Depot with a quayside which is accessible for CEMT Class IV Vessels which can carry up to 1500 tons
The LNG depot has its own quayside, which is always ready to be used. The quayside is accessible to CEMT Class IV vessels, which can carry up to 1500 tons.
This means that the LNG depot is able to receive large shipments of LNG spare parts, making it a vital hub for the distribution of this important resource.
The LNG depot is connected with the main water routes, which means that it is able to send LNG spare parts all over Europe.
This makes the depot a vital link. LNG depots support the growth of the LNG industry worldwide.
