Once complete, the terminal is expected to add significant import capacity for Germany, supporting energy diversification and lowering the environmental impact of both shipping and heavy-duty road transport. It will feature a jetty with two berths, catering for LNG carriers of up to 265,000 cubic-meter-capacity, and distribution facilities with total capacity of up to 8 billion cubic meters per annum.
“It will combine a variety of services, such as the unloading and loading of LNG carriers, the temporary storage of LNG, the re-gasification of LNG and its send-out into the German natural gas network and LNG distribution by trucks and rail cars,” the developer states.
The enterprise is a joint venture between Dutch natural gas firm Gasunie, infrastructure specialist Oiltanking and multinational chemicals firm Vopak.
