Background
In July 2022, the German Ministry of Economics and Technology announced that Stade would be the site of another FSRU deployed in response to Europe's energy crisis following the invasion of Ukraine. Germany’s Hanseatic Energy Hub (HEH) is already developing an onshore LNG import facility in Stade, Stade LNG Terminal, with a capacity of 13.3 billion cubic meters (9.8 mtpa).[1] Stade FSRU is intended to be an interim facility to be replaced by the onshore facility.[3][4]
In January 2023, LNG Prime reported that work had begun on a new LNG jetty costing about 300 million euros, which will house the Dynagas FSRU Transgas Force. The FSRU is expected to arrive in the winter of 2023/2024.[2]
In May 2023, Fluxys sold its stake in HEH.[9]
As of August 2023, the floating LNG terminal Transgas Force had arrived in Bremerhaven, German and was being prepared for operation in Stade.[14]
In October 2023, LNG Prime reported that the FSRU was expected to be commissioned in Q1 2024.[13]
In January 2024, LNG Prime reported that the FSRU would arrive at the end of March.[10] The same month, it was announced that KN Energies (formerly known as Klaipėdos nafta) would take over management of four state-owned German terminals operated by DET, including this facility.[15]
In June 2024, Germany's state-owned DET said that the facility was ready for commissioning and expected to receive its first cargo in the second half of 2024.[12]
As of November 2024, the terminal was expected to launch in January 2025.[11]
