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 harbour of Zeebrugge. In order to enable gas deliveries from Algeria at the contractual delivery date, Distrigas negotiated an agreement with Gas de France for the unloading of Algerian LNG at its Montoir de Bregane terminal during the period needed for reclaiming of the peninsula and for the construction of the terminal. Cargo's were delivered in Montoir between November 1982 and August 1987. The first cargo has been delivered at Zeebrugge on June 25th, 1987. This paper briefly summarizes the main construction topics and further describes the activities related to the start-up of the LNG receiving terminal of Zeebrugge.
