Do you have questions or comments about the Wilhelmshaven site? We will keep you up to date and look forward to hearing from you.
At the DET site in Wilhelmshaven, real pioneering work has been done. In December 2022, the first German LNG terminal went into operation here in record time: the special vessel "Höegh Esperanza". Since then, it has been receiving liquefied natural gas from LNG carriers, converting it back into a gaseous state and feeding it into the German gas grid – flexibly and safely. In 2025, the site was expanded to include a second floating LNG terminal, the "Excelsior". This FSRU docked at the purpose-built island jetty on April 28, 2025, completing the quartet of DET terminals. In this way, the DET sites will make an important contribution to a reliable energy supply for Germany and Europe.
