MT announced the award of the “major” contract by Worley, which is the project’s engineering lead and works on behalf of state-owned DET, in a statement on Monday.
The Lithuanian firm did not provide the price tag of the contract.
Under the deal, MT will execute a full package of all topside and onshore-based infrastructure, including mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation, civil installation, and tie-in works into the existing grid system.
The work is part of Phase 2 of the Brunsbüttel LNG terminal’s development, supporting the permanent relocation and integration of the FSRU at its final jetty location.
This is MT’s second contract in Brunsbüttel.
In October 2024, the company signed a deal with Gasfin to construct a 50 MW heater facility – a project currently in “advanced” construction stages, MT noted.
Germany’s Brunsbüttel Ports officially started building the new dedicated jetty, which will host the 170,000-cbm FSRU Hoegh Gannet, in April last year.
Hoegh Gannet is currently located at the Brunsbüttel Port’s existing dangerous goods berth in Brunsbüttel’s Elbehafen port, and the new jetty is being built to the west of this location.
DET’s LNG terminals
The Brunsbüttel facility has been in operation since 2023 and is one of three DET’s FSRU-based terminals in Germany.
DET recently told LNG Prime that it plans to launch commercial operations at its second FSRU-based terminal in Wilhelmshaven in August.
In May, the 2024-built 174,000-cbm Energy Endurance delivered the commissioning cargo to Excelerate’s 138,000-cbm FSRU Excelsior in Wilhelmshaven from Venture Global LNG’s Plaquemines LNG export plant in Louisiana.
The chartered FSRU is located two kilometers south of the already operational Wilhelmshaven 1 terminal, which features the FSRU Hoegh Esperanza. It is moored at an island jetty, completed last year, and located about 1.5 km from the shore.
DET is also working on the Stade FSRU-based terminal.
However, in March, the company terminated the contract related to the Stade FSRU-based facility with compatriot Hanseatic Energy Hub, the developer of the onshore LNG terminal in Stade.
In the meantime, DET sub-chartered the 2021-built 174,000-cbm FSRU, Energos Force, for deployment in Jordan, as it works on the next steps for the delayed Stade LNG import facility.
