At Fos Cavaou and Fos Tonkin, on the Mediterranean coast, the teams managed :

• 97 calls (120 in 2019): 93 unloading, 4 reloading of ships,

The Montoir-de-Bretagne LNG terminal on the Atlantic coast maintained its commercial activity at a historic level:

• The terminal's second record year, after 2019, in terms of the quantities of LNG handled, with 8.5 million tonnes,
• 2nd historic year, after 2019, in terms of the number of ports of call: 126 in 2020 (130 in 2019) with 84 ship unloadings and 21 transhipments of LNG cargoes,

An LNG pioneer and operator of LNG terminals since 1965, Elengy is about to carry out the 10,000th ship unloading. This represents a total quantity of LNG of around 330 million tonnes, from 15 different countries, and more than 280 different LNG carriers that have make a stop at Elengy terminals.

As for the LNG tanker loading service, it continues to experience strong growth, illustrating the major role of LNG in the ecological transition. With six loading bays at its three terminals (two per site), in January 2021 Elengy crossed the threshold of 35,000 tankers loaded since the service was launched in 2013.
