Germany's First FSRU Arrives

LNG

Uniper said that Hoegh Esperanza, the first floating vessel allowed to import LNG into Germany, has reached its destination in the port of Wilhelmshaven this afternoon.

  • The FSRU will be officially opened on Dec. 17.
  • "There is still a lot to do before the first gas can flow in a few days. Nevertheless, after ten months of intensive work, it is a great moment to see the Hoegh Esperanza dock here," Holger Kreetz, COO Asset Management Uniper said.
  • The FSRU will regasify delivered LNG volumes to feed at least 5 billion cubic metres of natural gas a year into Germany's grid, equal to around 6% of the country's gas demand.
