July 21 (Bloomberg) -- The following table is an overview
of liquefied natural gas tankers expected to arrive in the U.K.,
Belgium and northwest Europe.
The snapshot is compiled using AISLive data on Bloomberg
and information from port authorities. It includes spot and
multiyear contract cargoes of the gas cooled to a liquid and may
not capture all ships. Tanker capacity is given in cubic meters
of LNG. For Belgium, data on whether the ship is loading for
export or unloading is also given, if known.
The U.K. is Europe's largest and most-active gas market.
Interconnector (U.K.) Ltd. operates a two-way pipeline between
Zeebrugge, the location of Belgium's only LNG terminal, and
Bacton, east England.
