According to Fluxys, the milestone delivery took place on August 31.
The 2024-built 174,000-cbm LNG carrier, Energy Fortitude, owned by Greece’s Alpha Gas, brought the LNG cargo from Qatar to the Zeebrugge facility.
In operation since 1987, the Zeebrugge LNG terminal mostly receives shipments from Qatar, USA, and Russia.
“In 2023, we had about 210 large-scale LNG tankers in the Zeebrugge terminal for unloading or loading operations, and we had about 80 small-scale LNG tankers vessels for unloading or loading operations,” a spokesperson for Fluxys told LNG Prime.
Due to high demand for LNG, Fluxys is expanding the facility and it has already increased the terminal’s capacity by adding three new open rack vaporizers.
The capacity has been increased since January 1, 2024 to 11.3 mtpa (15 bcma).
“The additional sendout capacity (1.3 mtpa / 2 bcma) is scheduled to be available on January 1, 2026,” the spokesperson said.

US energy giant ConocoPhillips recently signed a deal with Fluxys to book long-term capacity at the Zeebrugge LNG terminal.
The capacity booking at the terminal will allow ConocoPhillips to import and regasify 0.75 mtpa of LNG for delivery in Belgium and also throughout Europe starting in April 2027, it said.
This deal came after Fluxys in June offered long-term capacity for 2027-2044 at its LNG import facility in the port of Zeebrugge.
