Dec 22 (LNGJ) - Fluxys Belgium, the subsidiary of energy infrastructure group Fluxys and operator of the Zeebrugge LNG import terminal, is planning to offer long-term natural gas storage services as well as additional flexibility as from April 2022. The Fluxys subscription window for natural gas storage has now opened and will last until January 14, 2022.

   The company, which also operates the Belgian gas grid and has a majority stake in the French Dunkirk terminal on the Channel Coast, said this was the first storage service sales under a new commercial model. “It is a highly attractive and first opportunity for storage users to subscribe to storage services with unprecedented flexibility for a period of two or up to 10 years,” said Fluxys.

Fluxys, the Belgian grid operator and owner of the Zeebrugge LNG terminal and with a large stake in Dunkirk LNG in France, has taken delivery along with Dutch joint venture partner Titan LNG of a bunkering barge to operate in the Antwerp region of the European Union energy sector.

Fluxys Belgium said that the Zeebrugge import terminal had formally started its long-term trans-shipment contract with the Russian Yamal export plant in Russia with the loading of the 155,000 cubic metres capacity carrier “Yenisei River” from the newly commissioned fifth storage tank.

Fluxys LNG, the operator of the Zeebrugge import terminal in Belgium, said it intended to launch a subscription window in the second half of April for unloading slots and additional storage services at the facility.

Enagas, the Spanish natural gas network owner and LNG terminals operator, reported firm profits and the 85 percent completion of Trans Adriatic Pipeline, part of Europe’s Southern Gas Corridor.

Fluxys group of Belgium, owner of the LNG import facility at the Belgian port of Zeebrugge, has now agreed to acquire full ownership of the Dunkirk LNG terminal on the French Channel Coast.
