Germany’s Mukran LNG Delay to Feb Approved

LNG

Germany’s Baltic coast Mukran LNG terminal will be delayed until the end of February after storms in mid-October interrupted construction of a pipeline connecting to the mainland. No specific start date has been given.

  • Local government approved the two-month extension from pipeline operator Gascade according to documents on Tuesday after the start of operations was previous planned by the end of last year.
  • The storm caused sand to fill the pipe trench and works are now taking place on about 7 kilometres of the project, according to a Gascade spokesman.
  • LNG will be stored in the facility’s storage tanks prior to commissioning but won’t be regasified until the pipeline to the mainland is operational.
