Baltic Ice Blocks Access to Rügen LNG Terminal

The operator forecasts a restart next week contingent on buoy localization followed by icebreaker clearance.

Overview

  • Sea ice continues to prevent safe transits to the Mukran facility, delaying scheduled LNG tanker arrivals.
  • The Maran Gas Nice remains alongside the FSRU Neptune beyond its weekly slot, while the Minerva Amorgos failed to berth after a postponed attempt on Thursday.
  • WSA and BSH warn that navigation buoys have been displaced or pushed under the ice, creating hazards that must be addressed before tankers can pass.
  • Deutsche Regas says ship calls can resume once buoys are located early in the week and an icebreaker clears the channel, with the Arkona on standby to assist.
  • The company has not disclosed impacts on gas feed-in, and authorities do not anticipate a broad easing of the regional ice conditions yet.
