Germany chooses locations for additional FSRUs

Stade and Lubmin selected as LNG import locations as minister also backs a fifth privately held project

Stade, close to Hamburg in Germany’s northwest, and Lubmin, on the country’s northeast coast, will play host to the third and fourth LNG FSRUs chartered by Berlin to try to offer an alternative to Russian pipeline gas supply, the country’s economy and energy minister Robert Habeck has revealed. The two terminals are due to be operational at the end of 2023—although for Lubmin that target is “at the earliest”—a year behind two FSRUs already earmarked for Brunsbuettel and Wilhelmshaven. The government is also expecting a fifth floating import facility to be ready by the end of this year, this last being led by private developer Deutsche Regas, which has secured a partnership with TotalEnergies
