Dear Readers,

My name is Arjen Schampers, CEO of Hanseatic Energy Hub, and it is my pleasure to welcome you to the first issue of our new online newsletter. With “HEH News”, we will keep you regularly informed about Hanseatic Energy Hub. This is especially relevant for our neighbours, whether they are located within the industrial park itself or in the Stade region. Of course, we invite anyone else who is interested to read in as well.

Recently, Stade hosted its first "Industry Week" – the tours were fully booked and proved to be a resounding success. A glimpse behind the scenes of companies is always fascinating. We often receive questions about ongoing work, the organisation of such a complex project, and the experts involved on-site. Discover exciting insights into the construction and organisation of a modern land-based terminal for liquefied gases. And, most importantly, meet the people who work for Hanseatic Energy Hub. Their expertise and motivation are the key to our success.

From now on, we will regularly introduce the movers and shakers who drive our project forward every day. For example, in the “Hand in Hand”-section, you’ll meet Jan-Luca Trimborn, a member of the HSE management team on-site. With clear processes and a strong sense of teamwork, he ensures compliance with the highest safety standards. In the “Portrait”-section, LNG Tank Manager Carlos Magan shares how he combines precision and passion to coordinate tank construction, bringing together international experience and teamwork. Ignacio Casasempere, our project director, reports on the current construction progress and the unique challenges of international collaboration in the “Moment”-section. Finally, the “Details”-section in this edition focuses on the value chain of an LNG terminal: learn how a terminal functions as a logistical hub and how it contributes to energy security.

Now, I invite you to dive into reading the full articles. Of course, you are always welcome to reach out to us with questions and suggestions.

Enjoy reading the first edition of “HEH News”!

Yours sincerely,
Arjen Schampers

Chief Executive Officer
Management Board
