Zeebrugge LNG terminal

Your LNG gateway into Northwestern Europe

The Zeebrugge LNG terminal serves as a gateway to supply LNG into Northwestern Europe. Any LNG unloaded at the terminal can be redelivered for consumption on the Belgian market, or traded on the Zeebrugge Hub or onward transmission to supply other end consumer markets in any direction: the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, Luxemburg, France and Southern Europe.

 

About 1,200 LNG carriers received

The Zeebrugge terminal facilities provide for loading and unloading ships carrying liquefied natural gas (LNG). LNG is stored there temporarily as a buffer in storage tanks and can be regasified and injected into the grid for transmission or loaded back onto LNG ships. About 1,200 LNG carriers have docked at the terminal since commissioning of the facility in 1987.

First capacity enhancement 2004-2008

Between the end of 2004 and the spring of 2008, a fourth storage tank and additional send-out capacity were built at the LNG terminal. This enhancement has doubled the facility's throughput capacity to 9 billion cubic metres of natural gas per year, allowing reception of 110 ships per year instead of 66 ships per year previously.

Possible second enhancement project

Considering the rising importance of LNG in Europe’s security of supply, Fluxys LNG launched in late 2007 an international market consultation to assess the level of demand for additional capacity at the Zeebrugge LNG terminal.

Tips for using search operators

Use "quotation marks" to search for a series of words or a phrase in a specific order.

Boolean operators

You can find a group of words or a phrase by using the link words AND, OR and NOT:
known as Boolean operators, these words are used to combine terms in the search field.

  • AND: All the search terms must be included in the publication. Typing in Apple AND Pear will return publications containing both the word Apple and the word Pear.

     

  • OR :  At least one of the search terms must be included in the publication. Typing in Apple OR Pear will return publications containing either the word Apple or the word Pear or both.

     

  • NOT: The term preceded by NOT must not be included in the publication. Typing in Apple NOT Pear will return publications containing the word Apple but not the word Pear.
