Energy - Jetty for floating Stade LNG terminal handed over
Almost eleven months after the official start of construction, the jetty for the floating terminal for liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Stade is to be handed over to the users on Saturday (from 10.00 a.m.). Lower Saxony's Ministers Olaf Lies (SPD, Economy) and Christian Meyer (Greens, Energy) are expected to attend the event, and the Parliamentary State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Economics, Stefan Wenzel (Greens), has also been announced. The jetty is to be handed over by the federal state to the users, Deutsche Energy Terminal and Hanseatic Energy Hub.
The terminal is not yet in operation; among other things, the necessary special ship has not arrived. According to earlier information from NPorts, around 50 LNG tankers per year are to be handled at the new terminal on the Elbe in future. Around five billion cubic meters of natural gas are to be handled annually.
