QatarEnergy has started using its long-term liquefied natural gas (LNG) delivery, storage, and regasification capacity at the Isle of Grain terminal in the United Kingdom. The company began utilizing this capacity in July 2025 under a long-term agreement signed in October 2020. The first LNG cargo for this agreement was unloaded at the Isle of Grain terminal on July 15, 2025, which marks the beginning of a 25-year contract period.
His Excellency Mr. Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, Minister of State for Energy Affairs and President and CEO of QatarEnergy, stated: “We are pleased to commence utilization of the LNG storage, and regasification capacity at the Isle of Grain terminal. This is an important milestone, which expands our LNG storage portfolio, and marks a significant step in QatarEnergy’s strategic expansion into the UK gas market through Europe’s largest LNG receiving terminal.”
The use of capacity at the Isle of Grain terminal complements QatarEnergy Trading’s existing LNG terminal capacities at Zeebrugge in Belgium and Montoir in France. According to QatarEnergy, this move strengthens its commitment to providing reliable LNG supplies across Europe and increases flexibility within its global LNG portfolio as its business continues to grow.
