SERVICES

BASIC SERVICES

Continuous service : Regasification service for shippers that have subscribed for an annual average of at least ten (10) cargoes over a one-year period at a terminal. As part of this service, the Operator provides a send-out which is as regular as possible, according to the Terminal's global Unloading schedule.

Uniform service : Regasification service for the Shipper unloading at the most one cargo a month at a terminal. As part of this service, each Cargo is sent out with a uniform daily quantity over a period of thirty (30) days from the default Unloading Date.

Spot service : Regasification service intended for Cargoes subscribed (reservation) after the twentieth (20th) Day of Month M-1 for delivery during a given Month M. As part of this service, the Cargo is sent out with a uniform daily quantity over a period of thirty (30) days from the default Unloading Date.

OPTIONS

•    Send-Out Postponement Service : Additional regasification service offered to Shippers that have subscribed for a Spot Service or a Uniform Service, allowing them to begin sending
out their cargo up to two days after the Unloading Date
•    Early Send-Out Service : Additional regasification service offered to Shippers that have subscribed for a spot service or a uniform service, allowing them to begin sending out their cargo up to two days before the Unloading Date, on the condition that a guarantee is provided to the Operator for the quantities to be sent out early.
•    LNG Inventory Transfer : Additional service for the exchange of LNG quantities stored between shippers inside the Terminal, expressed in MWh (GHV), as defined in the procedure
described in article 4 of the General Terms and Conditions.

SHIP RELOADING SERVICE
Any Shipper that has signed a standard access contract to the Montoir-de-Bretagne LNG terminal can apply to the ship reloading service. To be noted that the reloading service is fully independent from the unloading and regasification services.
Indeed, a Shipper can either reload part of the LNG that he has delivered to the terminal beforehand, or load some LNG that has been transferred in tanks from another party.

The loading rate is around 4 500 m3GNL/h, which means that a reloading operation is performed in less than two days overall for a standard cargo.

FAQ

What is natural gas?

Natural gas is principally composed of methane (CH₄) and is found in natural reserves. As a primary energy source, it offers many qualities, and is the cleanest fossil fuel.

It is appreciated for its high calorific value, ease of use, and environmentally-friendly composition.

Why does natural gas smell bad?

Natural gas is odourless, but an artificial odorant is added to enable detection in the event of a leak.

Why do people say natural gas is clean?

When natural gas burns it does not emit dust, soot or smoke, producing only water vapour and carbon dioxide, much like human breath, which is then transformed back into oxygen by plants. It is the most energy-efficient of all fossil fuels on the market.

Is there a risk of explosion at an LNG terminal?

An explosion of natural gas can only occur if the following three factors occur simultaneously:

a gas leak in an enclosed space
a mix of air and gas of between 5% and 15%
a spark or flame.

Every care is taken in at LNG terminals to prevent these three things occurring at the same time.

Can I visit an LNG terminal?

For reasons of national security, our sites may not be visited by the public.

Aggregated allocated quantities

Corresponds to aggregated Shipper send-out allocations in kWh 25°C at the interface between the LSO and the TSO.

This information is provided at 7h00 LT for the preceding gas day.

Aggregated Inventories

Amount of gas in kWh 25°C belonged by the shippers in the tanks of the LNG terminal at the beginning of the day.

Aggregated nominated quantities

Corresponds to aggregated Shipper send-out nominations in kWh 25°C at the interface between the LSO and the TSO.

This information is provided at 18h00 LT for the gas day ahead.

Available capacity

Corresponds to the available commercial capacity of the LNG terminal, i.e non subscribed capacity, expressed as the daily average of the month, in kWh/J at 25°C.

This information is updated daily.

Available Firm Capacity

Difference between Total Firm Capacity and the amount of booked capacity.

Cogeneration

A technology that enables a single fuel source to produce both thermal energy (heat and/or cold) and electricity at the same time.

Combined-cycle power plant

A power station that comprises a gas turbine generator whose exhaust powers a boiler. The steam from the boiler then drives a turbo-generator.

Delivery Conditions

Operator’s obligations concerning the physical characteristics of the natural gas being delivered (pressure, temperature, etc).

LNG

Liquefied Natural Gas

LNG Terminal

Facilities providing reception, storage, and regasification of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and transferring the natural gas (in its gaseous state) to the Main Network

LNG Terminal Access Contract

Contract between the Operator and a Shipper, stating the reception, storage and regas conditions for LNG cargoes delivered by the Shipper to an LNG terminal.

Main Network

High-pressure, large-diameter facilities linking connecting points with neighbouring networks, underground storage facilities and LNG terminals, to which are connected the regional transport networks and a number of industrial consumers and retail networks.
