Port of Antwerp-Bruges reports record LNG bunkering volumes

Belgium's Port of Antwerp-Bruges reported record liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunkering volumes in 2025.

According to the port’s data, the LNG bunkering volumes reached 234,580 tonnes in 2025.

This is a 246 percent increase compared to 67778 tonnes in 2024.

LNG bunkering volumes reached 40,220 tonnes in 2023.

Port of Antwerp-Bruges notes that LNG can be bunkered in Antwerp and Zeebrugge, both via road tankers and bunker vessels.

The licensed LNG bunkering suppliers include Titan, Shell Western LNG, Molgas, Gasum, Bunker One (LNG), and Axegaz.

There are several barges and vessels working in the area.

US LNG volumes jump

Port of Antwerp-Bruges also recently provided some LNG import data via the Fluxys-operated Zeebrugge LNG terminal.

The port said that the European ban on transshipment of Russian LNG to non-EU destinations negatively impacted energy volumes.

However, expanding LNG production capacity in the US and the Middle East may support future growth, it said.

The port said LNG had a mixed year but recovered “strongly” in the fourth quarter thanks to a fourfold increase in supply from the United States (3.7 million tonnes).

Russia (4.3 million tonnes, -16.6 percent) remained one of the top three countries of origin,
alongside the United States and Qatar (1.5 million tonnes, -21.7 percent), although the impact of the European ban on reexporting Russian LNG outside Europe is clearly evident, it said.

Further phase-out is planned, with a full ban on Russian LNG imports by 2027, the port noted.
