Agency-compiled ship-tracking data show Belgium, Europe’s fifth-largest LNG importer last year, relied entirely on Russian LNG imports in July after Middle East fighting sharply reduced supplies to Europe. July LNG inflows to Belgium were down more than 40% YoY; shipments from Russia totaled about 400,000 tonnes. Disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz have kept gas prices elevated and led many European buyers to defer LNG purchases for winter storage. The reliance highlights a policy tension as the EU has decided to ban Russian LNG imports from next year. Belgium also receives pipeline gas from Norway and the UK.
