With a gas injection of more than 10 TWh, the “Deutsche Ostsee” LNG import facility achieved an all-time high in quarterly supply performance in the second quarter of 2025, according to a statement by Deutsche ReGas.
Thus, Deutsche ReGas is making an “important” contribution to ensuring that the natural gas storage facilities in Germany can be filled again after the cold winter months, the firm said.
Deutsche ReGas said that the FSRU-based facility feeds regasified LNG into the German gas grid via fixed, freely allocable capacities amounting to 16 GWh/h.
In addition, fixed capacities of 4 GWh/h are available for export to the Czech Republic.
“In the past quarter, we proved the efficiency of our terminal and fed more natural gas into the German grid on behalf of our customers than any other LNG import terminal in Germany,” Ingo Wagner, CEO Deutsche ReGas, said.
“This is also confirmation of the reliability and flexibility of our services and an excellent signal for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern as a business location,” he said.
FSRU Neptune
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.
Deutsche ReGas and Germany’s Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy recently reached a mutual agreement on resolving the sub-charter agreement for the FSRU Energos Power.
In March this year, Deutsche Regas also revealed plans to reinstall a second FSRU at the Mukran facility.
Besides this facility, Germany currently imports LNG via the DET-operated FSRU-based facilities in Wilhelmshaven and Brunsbüttel.
The state-owned LNG terminal operator plans to launch commercial operations at its second FSRU-based terminal in Wilhelmshaven in August.
