KEY ROLE OF THE ZEEBRUGGE AREA
INTERCONNECTOR 1998
ZEEBRUGGE HUB ¨SPOT MARKET
1998
LNG TERMINAL 1987
ZEEPIPE TERMINAL
1993 Landing capacity Zeebrugge area:
approximately 10% of border capacity needed to supply Europe
Zeebrugge Hub spot market: established liquid trading place connected to the UK, The Netherlands, France and Germany
Interconnector pipeline ⇆ United Kingdom
Zeepipe from Norwegian gas fields

What is LNG and the Zeebrugge LNG Import Terminal
LNG = liquefied natural gas at -162°C and +/- 600 times more compact than natural gas at 15°C (atmospheric pressure)
Storage capacity : 380.000
m³ of LNG in semi-burried
full containment tanks
Loading and Unloading of
LNG ships from 70.000 m³
(in case of Coral Methane:
7.500 m³) up to Q-Max
(270.000 m³ LNG).
Since 1987, more than 1300
LNG ships unloaded.
Since 2008, more than 50
LNG ships (re)loaded.
Send-out (high pressure
pumps and vaporisers),
delivering guaranteed S/O
capacity of 1.700.000
m³(n)/h.

FROM 1987 TO 2012 (25 years !):
1.314 LNG CARRIERS UNLOADED
46 LNG cargoes unloaded in 2012
Of which 8 Q-Flex carriers

SINCE AUGUST 2008: LOADING OF LNG SHIPS
25 LNG Ships received for loading services in 2012
In total (period 2008-2012): 51 ships loaded
MAY 2010:

SECOND EXTENSION CAPACITY ENHANCEMENT
Starting from wide spectrum of demand: outline of capacity enhancement
- Phase 1 – Second jetty for unloading and loading (~ mid 2015): investment decision taken
- Redundancy for existing jetty
- Anticipation for Phase 2
- Allowing Small Scale LNG (FEEDER and BUNKER vessels)
- Phase 2 – Additional capacity (~ 2017):
> Up to 180,000 m3 LNG storage
> Up to 450,000 m3(n)/h send-out
Phase 2

AGENDA
Objectives of the study
■ Assessing the external human risks associated
with the supply of LNG as a marine fuel in Flemish
ports
■ To get an idea of the minimum safety distances that must be
maintained
between LNG activities and vulnerable objects in the vicinity
■ To evaluate the compatibility between future LNG activities and
existing activities
at a particular location in the port
■ To get an idea of the required land use of LNG activities and
installations
Study approach
■ Analysis of the LNG supply chain for the Flemish
ports (literature review)
■ Identify different routes and components in the supply chain
■ Define the characteristic sizes and specs of the individual components
■ Performing risk analyses of the individual
components in the LNG supply chain in a generic
way
■ Preferred supply routes are not yet fixed for the different ports
■ LNG demand and desired bunkering rates are not yet known
■ Locations for the new LNG activities in the ports are not yet chosen

Risk Analysis method
■ Quantitative risk assessment (QRA)
■ Evaluated against the risk criteria imposed by the regional authorities
■ Plant border: IR ≤ 10-5/y
■ Residential areas: IR ≤ 10-6/y
■ Vulnerable locations: IR ≤ 10-7/y
Hazard identification
and scenario definition
consequence analysis frequency analysis
calculation and evaluation
of the external human risk
calculated according to the Flemish guidelines
(e.g. Handbook of Failure Frequencies 2009)

Risk Analysis Results – cases
■ Applying the results on a real cases
low traffic intensity
case 1:
bunkering station for service vessels
case 2:
ship-to-ship bunkering of container
ships
case 1:
bunkering station for service vessels
Risk Analysis Results – cases
■ Case 1: bunkering station for service vessels
■ Specification of the station
■ Storage capacity: 3.500 m³ (5 x 700 m³ in a bund)
■ LNG throughput: 100.000 m³/y
■ Unloading of ships: 40 x 2.500 m³ (unloading rate: 500 m³/h)
■ Loading of trucks: 500 trucks per year (loading rate: 50 m³/h)
■ Bunkering of ships: 1.500 ships per year (50 m³ at 50 m³/h)
■ Relevant installations and activities
■ LNG storage
■ Unloading of LNG ships via fixed arm
■ Presence of LNG ships at the jetty
■ Loading of LNG trucks via flexible hose
■ Bunkering of service vessels via hoses

TRUCK LOADING
Purpose:
> Use as fuel for satellite consumers (= consumers not connected to the gas grid)
> Use as transportation fuel for trucks (e.g. Dutch truck filling stations) and inland shipping (e.g. Argonon)
> Conversion from LNG to CNG used as fuel for CNG vehicles
43
Actual loading capacity of 4,000 LNG trucks per year
Project ongoing for 2nd loading bay
