“We can confirm that Energy Endurance has made the first delivery to the FSRU Excelsior,” a DET spokesman told LNG Prime via email.
The spokesman did not provide further details.
According to its AIS data provided by VesselsValue, the 2024-built 174,000-cbm Energy Endurance, owned by Alpha Gas, delivered the shipment from Venture Global LNG’s Plaquemines LNG export plant in Louisiana.
On Monday, the vessel was in the North Atlantic Ocean and heading to the US Gulf.
Last month, Excelerate’s 138,000-cbm FSRU Excelsior docked at a new jetty, two kilometers south of the already operational Wilhelmshaven 1 terminal, to start serving the second FSRU-based terminal.
The 277-meter-long FSRU is moored at the island jetty, completed last year, and located about 1.5 km from the shore.
Before arriving in Germany, the vessel spent a long time in Navantia’s yard in El Ferrol, Spain, due to delays with the launch of the second Wilhelmshaven terminal.
DET’s second terminal in Wilhelmshaven will have a capacity of about 4 bcm per year.
The company currently operates the Brunsbüttel and Wilhelmshaven 1 FSRU-based terminals.
DET is also working on the Stade FSRU-based terminal.
The company recently terminated the contract related to the Stade FSRU-based facility with compatriot Hanseatic Energy Hub, the developer of the onshore LNG terminal in Stade.
