Deutsche ReGas confirmed the first reloading operation in a statement on Tuesday.

Coral Energy, a small-scale LNG carrier built in 2013, reloaded the LNG cargo on Monday at the Mukran terminal, which features two floating storage and regasification units, Energos Power and Neptune.

According to AIS data provided by VesselsValue, Anthony Veder’s 15,000-cbm vessel should arrive in Brofjorden, Sweden, on Tuesday.

Finnish state-owned energy firm and LNG supplier Gasum charters this small-scale LNG carrier from the Dutch shipping firm.

Deutsche Regas noted in the statement reloading involves using smaller LNG tankers to deliver LNG to locations in the region that do not have a connection to the pipeline system.

This can ensure security of supply for northern European regions that receive gas via smaller regional regasification plants, it said.

Moreover, with the launch of the new service at the ‘Deutsche Ostsee’ energy terminal, Deutsche ReGas can now provide a further infrastructure offering that will enable neighboring northern European countries to participate in the supply from this energy hub, it said.

With the service, customers of Deutsche ReGas can also realize smaller LNG deliveries throughout the Baltic Sea region “cost-efficiently and competitively.”

Deutsche ReGas’ reload infrastructure offering is part of the exemption pursuant to Section 28a EnWG of the Federal Network Agency, the company said.

“It is a great success for Deutsche ReGas that the reload service is already being utilized bymajor customers immediately after the start of regular operations,’ said Laurent Moriceau,head of commercial operations at Deutsche ReGas.

The German firm recently launched commercial operations at its Murkan LNG terminal, which can handle up to 13.5 cbm per year.

This came after the unloading of a US LNG cargo at the Mukran facility.

The 2021-built 174,000-cbm LNG carrier, Hellas Diana, owned by Latsco and chartered by Trafigura, delivered the LNG cargo from the Freeport LNG terminal in Texas.

Deutsche ReGas claims this marked a world first for a concurrent LNG delivery into the two interconnected FSRUs, so-called triple banking.

The privately financed LNG terminal has a storage capacity of over 300,000 cubic meters of LNG and is also the largest feed-in point of all German LNG terminals with a firm capacity of 16 GWh/h, Deutsche ReGas said.

Around 15 percent of Germany’s total natural gas demand can be fed from the terminal into the OAL, NEL, and EUGAL gas pipeline system.

The pipelines enable gas transport from the German Baltic coast onwards within Germany, Austria, and also to the neighboring Eastern European countries, it said.

Worth mentioning here, France’s TotalEnergies and Switzerland-based MET previously booked capacity at the Deutsche ReGas-operated Lumbin FSRU terminal.

MET booked 1 bcm per year and TotalEnergies took 2.6 bcm per year of the regasification capacity for a total of 3.6 bcm.
