German private LNG terminal operator Deutsche ReGas has discontinued its charter with the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection for a floating storage and regasification unit in the industrial port of Mukran.The company said it had terminated the contract for <em>Energos Power</em>, one of the two FSRUs currently operating at the Deutsche Ostsee terminal.The 2021-built 174,000 cu m vessel is owned by US-based LNG venture Energos Infrastructure for a long-term contract with the German government and subchartered to Deutsche Regas.Deutsche Regas said the move follows a &ldquo;significant market distortion in Germany&rdquo; caused by the state-owned Deutsche Energy Terminal (DET), which has been marketing its capacities for the regulated LNG terminals at prices significantly below the cost-covering fees since late last year.&ldquo;DET’s ruinous pricing policy since December 2024 is one of several reasons for terminating the sub-charter contract. Deutsche ReGas regrets being forced to take this step,&ldquo; said Ingo Wagner, managing partner of Deutsche ReGas.Deutsche ReGas also operates the LNG terminal in Lubmin, where it is working to develop a hydrogen import terminal in partnership with Höegh Evi.Wagner added the company continues to consult with the German government regarding its latest move and that in the event of a supply shortage, &ldquo;an immediate solution can be found at any time from ReGas’s perspective.&rdquo;Energos Infrastructure acquired the FSRU from Greece’s Dynagas as <em>Transgas Power</em> in 2024 together with Transgas Force, renamed Energos Force, for operations in the port of Stade under the direction of DET.
