France’s Elengy, a unit of Engie, is mulling the construction of a new liquefied natural gas truck loading station at its Montoir-de-Bretagne LNG terminal. The company said in its statement that building a new LNG truck loading station came into consideration due to a “significant increase in the booked capacity.” The new facility, that would be operational by winter 2017, would at least double the current capacity of 70 loading operations per week, depending on its configuration. Elengy invited interested companies to express their tender before July 25, 2016 and said it is open for discussions that would include proposed capacity and deadline. Decision on the new LNG truck loading facility is expected to be taken by the second semester of 2016, Elengy said. The loading service at the Montoir-de-Bretagne terminal has been in constant growth since its start in 2013, tripling its initial loading capacity from 22 to 70 truck loadings per week in 2015. Elengy launched its second LNG truck loading facility in 2014 at the Fos Tonkin terminal, that now can accommodate up to 22 trucks a week Elengy has 19 million tons per annum of natural gas regasification capacity and 840,000 cbm of LNG storage capacity. Its three terminals are also able to conduct 4600 LNG truck loadings per year.
