Fluxys and GRTgaz have sanctioned a pipeline that will offer destination flexibility to capacity holders at the Dunkirk LNG terminal.

The Belgian and French gas grid operators took a final investment decision this month for a 100-kilometre pipeline from Dunkirk to Zeebrugge that will interconnect the two countries’ networks.

A positive response from off-takers after an earlier open season for pipeline capacity tipped the scales.
