Deutsche Energy Terminal’s (DET) second LNG terminal in Wilhelmshaven in Germany will start commercial operations today [29 August], following a successful commissioning phase.

The launch follows several weeks of functional and performance tests. The terminal had already received its approval under hazardous incident regulations from the Oldenburg Trade Supervisory Authority [GAA] on 1 August and was commissioned at the end of May.

Dr Peter Röttgen, Managing Director of DET, said Wilhelmshaven 02 combined several technologies that were unique in Germany and Europe, from the FSRU to onshore feed-in.

“On the one hand, there is ECOnnect’s flexible pipeline system for the direct transfer of natural gas to land without a pipe bridge. This has significantly reduced the impact on the seabed ecosystem,” he said.
