Fluxys LNG, a unit of Fluxys, is offering slots on July 9 and July 17.
For these slots, Fluxys LNG commercializes the firm rights to unload, store, and regasify up to 140 000 cbm LNG over 10 days, the LNG terminal operator said.
The starting price per slot is the regulated tariff of a slot.
For April 2026, this is 626.101,91 euros ($737,305).
Fluxys LNG will hold auctions for both slots via a dedicated website on May 5.
The company recently said that its LNG terminal in Zeebrugge received a record number of ships last year, while a total of 480 TWh of natural gas was fed into the grid to supply Belgium and its neighboring countries.
The company noted that since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, pipeline gas flows that previously entered Europe from Russia in the east have fallen “dramatically”.
Replacement volumes for North-West Europe now come largely from the west, and the Fluxys Belgium network plays a “key role here,” it said.
Fluxys said that nearly 40 percent more natural gas flowed to Germany and the Netherlands via its infrastructure in the Zeebrugge area compared to 2024, accounting for a quarter of consumption in Germany.
In operation since 1987, the Zeebrugge LNG terminal mostly receives shipments from Qatar, the US, and Russia.
Due to high LNG demand, 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,” Fluxys said previously.
