Police ended Greenpeace blockade
On Oct 2, the Belgian police ended the blockade by Greenpeace protestors of the Zeebrugge LNG terminal. The activists have been removed and arrested after 29 hours while its sailboat was moved to a dock in the port, and the flow of LNG carriers has resumed. 70 Greenpeace activists took to the harbour on Oct 1 in a flotilla of small boats, kayaks, and inflatables surrounding the Greenpeace sailing vessel 'Witness'. They had timed the protest and hidden at various points around the port, so that it began just after an LNG carrier departed the terminal operated by Fluxys. The group included a large inflatable with images of Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump and a large banner reading “They love gas, you pay the price.” It was timed to the ongoing talks regarding the EU’s 19th sanction package against Russia, which calls for an end to Russian gas imports. Greenpeace, however, is also calling for an end to U.S. LNG imports, saying Europe must halt all supply contracts for fossil gas with a phase-out by 2035. A police boat was standing by near the protest on Oct 1, but initially took no action. After about 24 hours, Greenpeace said more than 40 protestors were still blocking the terminal, including with their kayaks and inflatable boats. They were determined to stay despite cold temperatures, humidity, and lack of sleep. The 'Witness' was positioned in the inner harbor, blocking the entry to the terminal. It took the police a couple of hours to terminate the blockade.
Greenpeace blocked LNG terminal in protest against Russian and US imports
Greenpeace activists blocked the LNG import terminal in Zeebrugge on Oct 1, 2025. The blockade was targeted against LNG being imported from Russia as well as the United States. During the protest, around 70 people from 17 different countries took to the water in kayaks and small craft, blocking the vessels from entering the terminal. The protesters managed to temporarily halt entry into the terminal before being removed. Images from the scene show inflatable mock-ups resembling U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Greenpeace Belgium was urging the EU and national governments to include a ban on Russian LNG in the bloc’s 19th sanctions package, with the goal of ending imports entirely.
Zeebrugge port authority invests in new 1,071 meter quay wall
By the Southern Canal Dock in the inner port of Zeebrugge, a ceremony was held yesterday for the start of the construction of a new 1,071 meter quay wall, an extension of the existing Bastenaken quay. This quay wall is the final missing piece that will connect the Bastenaken quay with the reverse quay at the dock's end, where International Car Operators Zeebrugge is located. When this project is finished, the largest dock in het port of Zeebrugge will be completed.
