Aug. 19 (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 and may not capture all ships. Tanker
capacity is given in cubic meters of LNG, which is cooled to a
liquid for transport. Data on whether the ship is loading for
export or unloading is 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.
