10,000th tanker load from Grain LNG collected by Gasrec

Gasrec celebrates a milestone achievement after collecting the 10,000th tanker load of LNG from the national grid facility on the Isle of Grain, east of London. Grain LNG is the largest LNG terminal in Europe and can store one million Nm3 of LNG.

Nicola Duffin, commercial director at Grain LNG, said: “Helping society decarbonise is a strategic priority for National Grid, Grain LNG was, therefore, delighted to welcome the Gasrec vehicle that collected the 10,000th load of LNG from the terminal. 

“We are confident that Grain LNG and its customers have many more milestones ahead as demand continues to grow with the increasing use of cleaner transportation fuels.”

Gasrec has also managed enormous growth in recent years, with the company now supplying around seven times more gas to fleets than at the start of 2019.

Chief executive of Gasrec, Rob Wood, said: “This landmark loading at Grain LNG marks another significant milestone for us in the continued expansion of the sector.

“Bio-LNG is proven to be the most environmentally-friendly fuel currently on the market for long-haul operators and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future.”

Demand for LNG in the road transport sector has soared in recent years as operators continue to seek out environmentally-friendly alternatives to diesel. Gasrec recently invested in four additional tri-axle tankers to take its delivery fleet up to seven, with another two currently in build and due to be on the road later this year to keep up with demand.
