Excellent upstream interconnection: LNG and pipe gas
The Zeebrugge area is considered to be the most important natural gas landing point in the EU27. Connecting to a variety of pipe gas and LNG sources, the Zeebrugge area has an overall throughput capacity of about 48 bcm/y. This corresponds with roughly 10% of the border capacity needed to supply the EU27.
As for pipe gas flows, the Zeebrugge area gives access to natural gas from Norwegian and British offshore production fields in the North Sea as well as from Germany and Russia.
Worldwide LNG supply is available through the Zeebrugge LNG terminal. The terminal has three primary shippers and standard provisions are in place to facilitate spot LNG deliveries.
