Zeebrugge terminal
The receiving terminal at Zeebrugge in Belgium is
owned by the Zeepipe group, part of the Gassled
joint venture, and Belgian company Fluxys. It is
operated as an integral part of the Zeepipe
system.
Zeebrugge was chosen as the Zeepipe landfall
because of its proximity to gas buyers in Belgium,
France and Spain.
The facility stands in the city’s port area and is
linked to the landfall point by a six-kilometre overland
line.
Upon arrival at the terminal, the gas has its
pressure regulated. Possible residual liquids and
solid particles are removed, and the gas is metered
and checked for quality before being transported
on through the pipeline network to customers
in Europe.
The Zeebrugge terminal became operational in
1993.
