Updated on March 9, 2026: The Open Season has concluded, and the Expression of Interest requests are now closed.
ZET is planned as a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) for LNG imports, moored at Vlissingen-Oost, Zeeland, with Quarleshaven as preferred and secured location. The terminal is designed to support energy security and market flexibility for the Netherlands and wider Europe from late 2029 onwards, with approximately 7.5 bcm per annum of send-out capacity and at least 180,000 cubic metres of LNG storage capacity.
Interested parties are invited to engage with VTTI and Höegh Evi on capacity requirements, service offerings and potential commercial structures, supporting the project’s development towards final investment decision. Insights gathered during the open season will help inform the final design and phasing of the terminal.
To participate in the Expression of Interest (EOI), companies must first request the online application form by emailing info@zeelandenergyterminal.com. Once received, the application form must be filled in and sent back to participate. The open season will remain open until March 6.

EOIs will be reviewed by the project team and market insights gathered will be used to further shape the terminal design and commercial framework. This may be followed by further engagement with selected parties as part of the ongoing project development and permitting process. To submit an EOI, please follow the guidance above.
