Berthing rights

Berthing rights can be used for the reception of an LNG carrier in accordance with the maritime rules governing the port of Zeebrugge and the unloading of LNG from this carrier once it has been received at the LNG terminal.

Such rights can also be used to load LNG carriers. 

The berthing right is time-sensitive 

Terminal users must berth and unload their LNG carriers within a window of the first 10 tides (around two and a half days) of the high tide marking the start of a given slot.

Types of berthing rights

Berthing right (included in an unloading slot)
€140,000 + €0.20/MWh loaded

Small-scale berthing right
€1.10/MWh loaded (minimum of €28,000)

Additional berthing right
€82,000 + €0.20/MWh loaded.

More beneficial than the small-scale berthing right for loads above 13,680 m³
