First Regasification Ship For New LNG Terminals Arrives At German Port

SASSNITZ, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 23: The "Neptune," a Norwegian-flagged regasification ship for liquified natural gas (LNG), is guided by tugboats as it arrives at Mukran Port on Rügen Island on November 23, 2022 in Sassnitz, Germany. The ship is a Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU) and is used to turn liquified natural gas (LNG) from a liquid back into a gas and then pump the gas into the host natural gas pipeline network. The "Neptune" will be stationed at the new LNG terminal at nearby Lubmin. Germany is building several LNG terminals on its North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts as it seeks to pivot away from natural gas imports from Russia, which had arrived via several pipelines, including the now defunct Nord Stream 1.
