Abstract: The LNG receiving terminal of Zeebrugge, owned by Nationale Methaanterminalmaatschappij (N.M.T.M.) and operated by Distrigas, is by far the largest facility of its kind located in Northern Europe. The current design is based on an annual throughput of 5 billion m of gas. The LNG imported from Algeria is vaporized on a continuous basis exclusively for the supply of the Belgian gas network. Many site locations had been investigated before the Belgian Government decided in 1977 to have the terminal built on an artificial peninsula in the outer harbor of Zeebrugge. In order to achieve gas deliveries from Algeria by the contractual delivery date, Distrigas negotiated an agreement with Gaz de France for the unloading of Algerian LNG at its Montoir de Bretagne terminal during the period needed for reclaiming of the peninsula and for the construction of the terminal. Cargoes were delivered at Montoir between November 1982 and August 1987. The first cargo was delivered at Zeebrugge on June 25th, 1987. This paper briefly summarizes the main construction topics and describes the activities related to the start-up of the Zeebrugge LNG receiving terminal.
