Deutsche ReGas says 80 percent of Mukran LNG capacity booked in 2026

Last month, Deutsche ReGas announced that it would offer 12 regasification slots for 2026.

“Despite a challenging market environment with strong price pressure, the results met our expectations in the mandatory marketing round of October 21, 2025, for short-term regasification capacities in 2026 at the Energie-Terminal Deutsche Ostsee,” Deutsche ReGas told LNG Prime on Wednesday.

“As a result, all delivery slots for LNG unloading in Mukran during the current heating season until next spring, as well as 80 percent of the capacities for the entire year 2026, have been allocated,” the company said.

Thus, the deliveries via the terminal will once again make a “significant contribution to security of supply in Germany and Europe in the coming year,” the company said.

Deutsche ReGas did not provide further details regarding the capacity bookings.

German chemicals giant BASF and Norwegian energy firm Equinor recently booked long-term regasification capacity at the FSRU-based LNG import facility in Mukran.

However, the parties have agreed to keep the remaining terms of the contract confidential.

The Mukran LNG terminal currently consists of the 2009-built 145,000-cbm, FSRU Neptune, after Deutsche ReGas terminated the charter contract for the 174,000-cbm FSRU Energos Power with the German government.

The FSRU Neptune is 50 percent owned by Hoegh Evi and sub-chartered by Deutsche ReGas from French energy giant TotalEnergies, who also holds capacity rights at the Mukran facility along with trader MET.

In June, Deutsche ReGas and Germany’s Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy reached a mutual agreement on resolving the sub-charter agreement for the FSRU Energos Power.

Deutsche Regas also revealed plans in March this year to reinstall a second FSRU at the Mukran facility.

The Mukran facility is the only FSRU-based terminal in Germany operated by a private firm.
