The LNG Terminal in Zeebrugge was one of the first terminals in North-West Europe to offer truck loading services back in 2010. A recent expansion led to a doubling of the capacity, with Fluxys now offering 8000 loading slots per year at two loading bays. Fluxys is actively involved in developing the small-scale LNG market: in addition to projects aiming at an ongoing improvement of its installations (e.g. intermodal transport and LNG hub), it is contemplating a further expansion of its truck loading services. Hence this call for market interest for additional truck loading bays.
