Van Oord wraps up work on Wilhelmshaven FSRU jetty

Van Oord has successfully completed the construction of the Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) jetty at Wilhelmshaven for its client Deutsche Energy Terminal (DET).

The Dutch giant said that, together with the client, they developed a tailor-made integrated solution for the project.

In total, Van Oord installed 10 monopiles as the foundation for the new 600-metre-long jetty and LNG trailing suction hopper dredger Vox Apolonia was deployed to dredge the berth pocket and turning basin to the required depth.

“Construction of this FSRU was one of the priority projects backed by Germany’s LNG Acceleration Act, passed in May 2022. This law aims to plug the supply gap and bolster Germany’s security of supply when it comes to energy,” said Van Oord in its official statement.

The project was managed by FSRU Wilhelmshaven GmbH, a joint venture between ENGIE and TES.
