FSRU Wilhelmshaven Hired Van Oord to Build a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit Dock in Wilhelmshaven.

Wilhelmshaven is becoming an important hub for the natural gas industry, with the construction of a floating unit for storage and regasification (FSRU) by FSRU Wilhelmshaven, formed by Engie and Tree Energy Solution (TES). The Dutch company Van Oord has been hired to build a dock for the FSRU in Wilhelmshaven, Germany, as part of this innovative project.

With the construction of the FSRU Wilhelmshaven dock, the necessary infrastructure for processing liquefied natural gas will be available in Wilhelmshaven. Van Oord will be responsible for the installation of monopiles to accelerate the construction process, with a total of ten monopiles being deployed, including abrasion protection. This investment will be crucial for expanding natural gas import capabilities in the region, promoting economic growth and energy security.

The foundations are equipped with platforms, walkways, and fittings. In addition, a suction dredger is being deployed to dredge the dock pocket and turning basin, Van Oord explained.

FSRU Wilhelmshaven and the LNG Acceleration Law

The dock is part of the second project based on the FSRU in Wilhelmshaven, supported by the German LNG Acceleration Law, which was approved in May 2022 to address the supply gap and reinforce the country’s supply security.

The project is operated by the state-owned Deutsche Energy Terminal (DET), a 100% government-owned subsidiary that commenced commercial operations on January 16, 2023.

DET holds the chartering contracts and is responsible for the technical and commercial operations of the floating LNG terminals leased by the state in Wilhelmshaven, Brunsbüttel, Stade, and Lubmin.

Commissioned Floating Terminal and Towage Suppliers

The first floating terminal in Germany for LNG import in Wilhelmshaven was officially commissioned for service on December 17, 2022, after ten months of work.

DET recently selected Fairplay Towage Group as the towage provider for the floating LNG terminals in Brunsbüttel, Stade, and Wilhelmshaven.

Brazil filled the Northeast with wind turbines but now faces the side effect of 705 giant blades reaching the end of their lifespan by 2032 just in Rio Grande do Norte, while the world projects 43 million tons of waste by 2050.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

10 giant tortoises are reintroduced and, in just 6 months, trigger changes that lead scientists to investigate a phenomenon absent for 180 years; the numbers recorded on the island impress researchers from around the world.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.
