Wilhelmshaven building LNG platform
The new LNG jetty in Wilhelmshaven (Germany) should become operational by winter this year. Three floating work platforms from the construction company Depenbrock are being used for the work so that the heavy working equipment, materials and containers for the construction teams quickly arrive on site.
Wilhelmshaven is to become a hub for LNG imports to Germany. The installation of the foundation elements in the harbour basin is beginning.
Three dolphins, at which the floating gas special ships (FSRU - floating storage regasification unit) will moor, as well as four further dolphins for mooring the floating terminal have already been anchored in the bottom of the harbour. As the owner of the state-owned seaports in Lower Saxony, Niedersachsen Ports is the client for the new jetty infrastructure. (sh)
