My reasons for getting involved in the Expert Council of the Maritime Platform:
"I am pleased to be able to support the work of the platform in the future. LNG is an important business area that the Maritime Platform will continue to focus on. I would like to contribute Vopak's global experience with LNG, especially with the GATE terminal in Rotterdam, in order to further improve the framework conditions for the maritime use of LNG in Germany. The platform is the right partner for Vopak for this."
