LNG

Zeebrugge LNG Terminal, owned by Belgian company Fluxys, has begun the first loading operations for the small-scale carrier “Coral EnergICE”, an Ice-Class vessel designed to make year-round deliveries of break-bulk cargoes to Scandinavian ports.

Royal Dutch Shell is helping to advance the project to introduce the world’s first liquefied natural-powered dredger to operate in the port of Rotterdam after signing a bunkering agreement.

July 16 - Fluor Corporation has won a contract by Gate Terminal BV, a subsidiary of Dutch Vopak and Gasunie, to design and build a LNG break bulk terminal in Rotterdam.

Break bulk terminals split up large-scale LNG shipments into smaller quantities to facilitate the distribution of LNG to be used as fuel for ships and heavy trucks.

Fluor will undertake EPC services for the jetty, loading facilities, boil-off gas compressors, connection to the LNG import terminal and other facilities.
