Connected gas pipelines
Tracked pipelines whose route passes within 25 km of this terminal, or whose name matches it. Proximity is not proof of a physical connection.
| Pipeline | Status | Length | Capacity | Distance | Matched by |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phased Gas Pipeline Network | Proposed | 700 km | — | 2.5 km | route proximity |
| Secunda–Durban Lilly Gas Pipeline | Operating | 600 km | 0.61 bcm/y | 2.5 km | route proximity |
Supplied via
Chokepoints that cargoes arriving at this terminal typically cross, based on where its region is supplied from.
- Strait of Gibraltar
- Suez Canal
- Bab el-Mandeb
- Danish Straits
Atlantic-basin supply from the United States crosses no chokepoint, which is why the European exposure figure is lower than it looks.
Routing is an editorial model of typical laden voyages, held in a hand-maintained lane table. It is not vessel tracking, and it does not account for diversions, canal draught limits, ice class or seasonal closures. See methodology, or take the machine-readable exposure feed. Links to the Chokepoints site are inactive until its domain is set in the environment.

- Where is Durban LNG Terminal?
- Durban LNG Terminal is an LNG import terminal in South Africa. It is made up of 1 tracked train or phase.
- Is Durban LNG Terminal operating?
