Interconnector Zeebrugge Terminal: natural gas to and from the UK
The Interconnector Zeebrugge Terminal (IZT) connects the Fluxys grid to the underwater Interconnector pipeline which runs to Bacton in the United Kingdom and is so far the only bi-directional link between the UK and continental European markets. IZT allows natural gas from the Continent to be shipped to the United Kingdom. Such gas may come from any source to which the Fluxys network is connected: Russia, Norway, the Netherlands, or LNG that has been regasified at the LNG terminal.
The Interconnector also serves as the only gas export route from the United Kingdom.

Zeebrugge LNG Terminal
The Zeebrugge LNG Terminal serves as a gateway to supply LNG into Europe. LNG carriers can berth at the terminal either to unload or to load. Unloaded LNG is held in cycling storage before it is regasified and sent out into the Fluxys grid or reloaded into LNG carriers.
