Deutsche ReGas said in a statement that available short-term regasification capacity for 2026 at the “Deutsche Ostsee” terminal will be auctioned on Tuesday, October 21, 2025.
According to the firm, twelve unloading and regasification slots will be offered evenly throughout the year.
To participate in the auction, market participants must be assigned to Deutsche ReGas and
registered by email on the “Prisma” platform, the firm added.
German chemicals giant BASF and Norwegian energy firm Equinor just booked long-term regasification capacity at the FSRU-based LNG import facility in Mukran.
However, the parties have agreed to keep the remaining terms of the contract confidential, the Mukran LNG terminal operator 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.
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.
Deutsche Regas also revealed plans in March this year to reinstall a second FSRU at the Mukran facility.
The Mukran facility is the only FSRU-based terminal in Germany operated by a private firm.
