LNG

The first LNG cargo from Golden Pass, Texas, is on route to Belgium’s Zeebrugge terminal which the carrier Al Qa’aiyyah is signalling as its destination. Loaded by QatarEnergy, as part of its Golden Pass equity quota, the cargo has likely been purchased by Eni.

QatarEnergy has offered five LNG unloading and regasification slots at Belgium’s Fluxys Zeebrugge terminal for April 2026. The five standard LNG slots were made available on Monday via the secondary market on the EMIX platform, Fluxys confirmed to Reuters.

EU member states spent more than €7.2 billion ($8.4 billion) on Yamal LNG last year – despite a full ban on LNG imports coming into force on January 1, 2027.  “Russia has no adequate alternative to the EU market,” Urgewalt analysts commented, noting more than three-quarters of all Yamal LNG exports currently go to Europe.

Oct 17 (LNGJ) - The 177,000 cubic metres capacity carrier “LNG Bonny II” berthed on October 17 at the UK Isle of Grain import terminal, located southeast of London. Shipping data  listed the ship’s previous port as Point Fortin in Trinidad and its next destination as offshore Croatia.

   Another LNG shipment is heading for Belgium. The 135,855 cubic metres vessel “Al Jasra” is scheduled to arrive on October 19 at the Zeebrugge terminal with a cargo lifted on October 1 from the Ras Laffan plant in Qatar.

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 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.

Fluxys Belgium, the operator of the Belgian natural gas network and the Zeebrugge LNG import terminal, reported a drop in net profits due to one-off tax items and higher investments as Russian LNG trans-shipments activities rose along with small-scale fuel loadings.

Fluxys, the Belgian natural gas network operator and owner of the Zeebrugge LNG terminal, has joined forces with Dutch company Titan LNG for a bunkering pontoon project to make LNG maritime fuel more widely available in the Antwerp port area and region.

Fluxys, the Belgian natural gas network operator and owner of the Zeebrugge LNG import terminal, and Russian Yamal LNG export plant majority stakeholder Novatek have signed a land lease agreement to build and operate an LNG terminal in the northeast German port of Rostock.

Fluxys Belgium, the natural gas infrastructure company and operator of the Zeebrugge LNG import terminal, posted a first-half profits rise as shipping activity rose, including more carriers arriving for the trans-shipment of cargoes from the Yamal export plant in Russia.
