7.2.2 ZEEBRUGGE LNG TERMINAL: LNG GATEWAY TO EUROPE
Fluxys’ Zeebrugge LNG terminal offers its users maximum flexibility. It is one of the few terminals in the world that can accommodate all LNG ships in circulation, while offering users of the Zeebrugge LNG a whole range of destinations for their nat- ural gas. They can either trade it at the Belgian trading points or move it via Fluxys’ Belgian grid to supply the Belgian market or other end-user markets in Europe. A second jetty for loading and unloading LNG carriers is currently under construc- tion at the LNG terminal and will enter into service in 2015. The jetty will be able to accommodate loading and unloading of both small and large LNG carriers, with capacities of between 2,000m³ and 217,000m³ of LNG. Preliminary studies for the project were co-financed by the European Union (Trans-European Networks – TEN). With the construction of the second jetty and new loading capacity booked for small LNG carriers, the Zeebrugge LNG terminal continues to evolve into a hub for the supply of LNG as a fuel for ships and long-distance haulage trucks. This market niche is still in its infancy, but it has a great deal of potential due to the low emission values of natural gas. Accordingly, Fluxys is involved in a number of studies exam- ining the possibilities of establishing basic infrastructure for LNG refuelling of ships and trucks.
