Germany's Wilhelmshaven LNG terminal closed for repair work
Germany's Wilhelmshaven liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal is carrying out scheduled repair work on the superstructure on the jetty of its trans-shipment facility from April 23 and will report to the market about the reopening, its operator DET said on Wednesday.
Deutsche Energy Terminal GmbH also said that the regasification ship, Hoegh Esperanza, has left its mooring and is waiting nearby, so that the Lower Saxony state's port operator can dig there to ensure the ongoing, necessary water depth.
DET charters the ships [floating storage regasification units (FSRUs)] for the LNG terminals at Wilhelmshaven, Brunsbuettel and Stade, that the Berlin government commissioned during the height of the continent's energy crisis in 2022.
The technical facilitator of the Wilhelmshaven terminal, which receives most of its LNG from the United States, is Uniper, the utility that was bailed out by Berlin after Russia, its former main gas supplier, stopped delivering.
