The 2006-built vessel, owned by Norway’s Knutsen, ran aground off the island of Rügen last Thursday morning whilst en route to the port of Sassnitz-Mukran.
After that, the tanker was towed free and moored at the Sassnitz anchorage, and reports suggest that no one was injured and that there was no environmental damage.
Iberica Knutsen’s AIS data, provided by VesselValue, showed last week that the vessel was loaded with cargo from Cheniere’s Sabine Pass facility in Louisiana.
A spokesman for Deutsche ReGas told LNG Prime that the “vessel arrived early in the morning on Saturday.”
“The cargo was offloaded as planned. On Sunday evening, the ship left our energy terminal,” he said.
“Deutsche ReGas expects the next LNG cargo to arrive within this week,” the spokesman said.
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.
However, Deutsche Regas plans to reinstall a second FSRU at the facility.
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.
Detutsche ReGas also recently said that it had allocated all of the available 2025 slots at its FSRU-based LNG terminal in Mukran.
