Liquefied natural gas - LNG terminal: Longer work on the 1st pipeline section
Gas network operator Gascade wants to work longer on the first section of the connection pipeline for the Rügen liquefied natural gas (LNG ) terminal. The company has applied to extend the construction period by the months of January and February within the marine protected areas, the responsible approval authority announced on Wednesday.
The work on laying the LNG connection pipeline is well advanced, but has not yet been fully completed due to weather-related delays in the fall, explained the mining authority in Stralsund. This concerns the first construction section, which comprises around half of the approximately 50-kilometer-long pipeline. This first section runs from Lubmin in Western Pomerania through the Greifswald Bodden to the coast of south-eastern Rügen.
The spawning season for herring is coming up at the beginning of the year. The Greifswald Bod den is regarded as a nursery for the fish.
According to the mining authority, a final decision on the approval of the requested change will be made at the beginning of January. However, the processing of the application has already been completed. The draft decision will therefore be publicly accessible from Thursday up to and including next Wednesday. A spokeswoman for the responsible Ministry of Economic Affairs in Schwerin was initially unable to comment on the content.

The extension of the construction period for the first section of the connection pipeline for the Rügen LNG terminal will take place in the marine protected areas of mecklenburg-vorpommern, affecting the Greifswalder Bodden. The work on this section, which is crucial for the transportation of Liquefied natural gas, has been delayed due to weather conditions during the fall. Even with the extended construction period, the spokeswoman for the responsible Ministry of Economic Affairs in Schlerin has yet to comment on the potential environmental impact on the herring spawning season, which begins at the start of the year, as the Greifswalder Bodden serves as a nursery for the fish. This LNG pipeline, once completed, is expected to contribute significantly to the region's energy supply and economy, with Stralsund playing a key role in its development.
