Transporting LNG by road is a particularly useful alternative for supplying natural gas to industrial sites in Europe where no pipeline supplies are available. The possibility of loading LNG into trucks is currently offered primarily in the South of Europe and Scandinavia. Fluxys LNG is now introducing this service in Western Europe as well.
After the novelty of loading small LNG ships last month, the Zeebrugge LNG terminal is once more expanding its range of services by launching LNG truck loading. This new service offers terminal users the opportunity to further broaden their options in the destination flexibility for the LNG they have shipped into the facility.
The terminal’s truck loading facility has sufficient capacity for accommodating 3,300 LNG truck loadings per year. Any LNG truck to be used for loading operations has to go through the LNG Truck Approval Procedure prior to loading. Fluxys LNG is selling LNG loading slots on a first committed, first served basis and cooling-down services for LNG trucks are available as well.
