commissioned at the end of May<\/a>.<\/p>\nDr Peter R\u00f6ttgen, Managing Director of DET, said Wilhelmshaven 02 combined several technologies that were unique in Germany and Europe, from the FSRU to onshore feed-in.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the one hand, there is ECOnnect\u2019s flexible pipeline system for the direct transfer of natural gas to land without a pipe bridge. This has significantly reduced the impact on the seabed ecosystem,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the other, the ultrasonic process for cleaning the FSRU\u2019s seawater pipeline system, which is unique in Europe, has now been put into operation.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Wilhelmshaven 02 terminal, with the FSRU Excelsior, is now fully operational and can contribute to security of supply and to filling the gas storage facilities before the next heating season.<\/p>\n
For this purpose, DET offered the market corresponding regasification capacities in a marketing round at the beginning of July. These capacities were fully purchased by traders, as were all capacities for 2026.<\/p>\n
Excelerate Energy, a leading provider of integrated LNG infrastructure solutions, owns the FSRU Excelsior and manages its full operations, including onboard regasification services.<\/p>\n
David Liner, Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer at Excelerate Energy, said the terminal\u2019s design \u2013 including an advanced gas export system and Europe\u2019s first ultrasonic anti-fouling technology \u2013 demonstrates the strength of its technical capabilities.<\/p>\n
The on-site terminal operations have been entrusted by DET to Gasfin Services.<\/p>\n
Danny van Schie, Managing Director of Gasfin Services, said Wilhelmshaven02 is already the second terminal \u2013 after Brunsb\u00fcttel \u2013 for which Gasfin is responsible for operational management on behalf of DET.<\/p>\n
Lithuanian LNG company KN Energies has been entrusted with the commercial management as well as the technical operations and maintenance of the terminal.<\/p>\n
CEO Darius \u0160ilenskis said it will draw upon its proven track record from operations and maintenance of LNG terminals in Lithuania and Brazil.<\/p>\n
In 2025, Excelsior will feed up to 1.9 billion cubic metres [bcm] of natural gas into the German gas grid.<\/p>\n
In the two subsequent years, Excelsior\u2019s regasification and grid feed-in capacity will then reach up to 4.6 bcm each.
