Van Oord has completed the construction of the FSRU berth in Wilhelmshaven, Germany. This project, developed for Deutsche Energy Terminal ( DET ) and managed by FSRU Wilhelmshaven GmbH, aims to improve fuel distribution.
Construction of the Van Oord FSRU quay
The 600-metre-long jetty was built using monopiles, a technology commonly used for ” wind turbines “, which made the installation process much quicker. Van Oord was responsible for both procurement and construction, with a total of 10 monopiles and adding platforms and walkways to complete the structure.
In addition, the company deployed its LNG-powered suction hopper dredger, Vox Apolonia , to dredge the berth area to the required depth. This approach has been an integral part of Van Oord’s strategy to reduce emissions and deliver cleaner solutions.
FSRU project manager Stan Aarts expressed his satisfaction with the results.This project is a clear example of Van Oord’s marine engineering capabilities and expertise. We have delivered a safe and efficient infrastructure that will help Germany meet its growing energy demand. “.
The project is part of efforts driven by Germany’s ” LNG Acceleration Act ” passed in 2022, which aims to close the country’s energy supply gap following rising regional and global demand.
