German LNG awards tank-design contract
German LNG Terminal GMBH engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor Sener Group awarded TGE Gas Engineering GMBH-Technodyne International Ltd. a contract for the outer tank design for two 165,000-cu m LNG storage tanks at the 8-billion cu m/year German LNG onshore terminal under development in Brunsbüttel, Germany. The companies plan to complete construction of the terminal in 2026.
German LNG last year awarded the EPC contract to a consortium of Sener and Cobra IS, a Vinci Group company (OGJ Online, Oct. 10, 2022). The terminal developer is a consortium of NV Nederlandse Gasunie (40%), RWE AG (10%), and the German government (50%).
German LNG has agreed with foundation customers INEOS Group Ltd., ConocoPhillips Co., and RWE Supply & Trading for long-term regasification capacity at the terminal.
While the German LNG terminal is being built, RWE has chartered the Hoegh Gannet floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) on behalf of the German government. The FSRU, stationed in Brunsbüttel as the Elbehafen LNG terminal, received its commissioning cargo last month (OGJ Online, Feb. 22, 2023).
