In October, 4.1 TWh of natural gas were fed into the German transmission grid via the Deutsche Ostsee terminal, while the facility fed 8.35 TWH to the grid in November, according to a statement by Deutsche ReGas.
Deutsche ReGas said this compared to 6.20 TWh at the Wilhelmshaven 1, 4.25 TWH at Wilhelmshaven 2, and 0.13 TWH at the Brunsbüttel FSRU-based facilities, all operated by state-owned Deutsche Energy Terminal (DET).
This demonstrates that in October and November 2025, Deutsche ReGas provided around 80 percent of the combined sendout of the four floating LNG terminals in western Germany, the company said.
“The sendout of our Mukran terminal — also against the backdrop of the current gas storage level of around 67 percent — paint a clear picture: the LNG terminal in Mukran and the strategic downstream infrastructure are crucial factors for ensuring energy security, particularly in eastern Germany,” Ingo Wagner, CEO of Deutsche ReGas, said.
It is worth noting here that the 170,000-cbm FSRU Hoegh Gannet, which serves the Elbehafen LNG import terminal in Germany’s Brunsbüttel, was offline due to a yard visit from September 18 until the middle of November.
In addition, DET also conducted maintenance at the second Wilhelmshaven FSRU-based facility in October, and minor maintenance at the first Wilhelmshaven facility in October.
Capacity bookings
The Mukran facility is the only FSRU-based terminal in Germany operated by a private firm.
In October, Deutsche ReGas said that companies have booked 80 percent of available regasification capacity at its FSRU-based facility in 2026.
In addition, German chemicals giant BASF and Norwegian energy firm Equinor booked long-term regasification capacity at the facility.
The Mukran LNG terminal currently consists of the 2009-built 145,000-cbm, FSRU Neptune, after Deutsche ReGas terminated the charter contract for the 174,000-cbm FSRU Energos Power with the German government.
The FSRU Neptune is 50 percent owned by Hoegh Evi and sub-chartered by Deutsche ReGas from French energy giant TotalEnergies, who also holds capacity rights at the Mukran facility along with trader MET.
In June, Deutsche ReGas and Germany’s Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy reached a mutual agreement on resolving the sub-charter agreement for the FSRU Energos Power.
