ENGIE Zeebrugge, the first purpose-built LNG bunkering vessel, has begun operations in Zeebrugge, Belgium, providing LNG to UECC's M/V AUTO ECO and M/V AUTO ENERGY. The vessel, which has a capacity of 5,000 m³, loads LNG at Fluxys' terminal, which recently added a second jetty for smaller carriers.
