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:

LOADING A SMALL LNG VESSEL, A FIRST IN EUROPE

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

Phase 1

AGENDA

Flemish LNG study

18

PERFORMED BY :

Logistical study

Regulatory study

Risk and Safety study

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

Analysis of the LNG supply chain

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


■ 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
