MT Group has been awarded a contract to oversee the construction of critical infrastructure at the Brunsbüttel floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Germany, a significant step in the country's energy security efforts.

The contract, awarded by engineering lead Worley on behalf of the state-owned company Deutsche Energy Terminal (DET), will encompass a comprehensive range of construction services.

Under the terms of the contract, MT Group will handle the execution of all topside and onshore-based infrastructure. This includes mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation and civil installation works, as well as the integration of the FSRU into the existing grid system.

This project is part of the terminal's second phase of development, which involves the permanent relocation of the FSRU to its final jetty position.

The Brunsbüttel FSRU terminal plays a central role in Germany's strategy to diversify its energy sources and enhance national energy security, especially considering the cessation of Russian pipeline gas due to the Ukraine crisis.

Germany has expedited the implementation of several FSRUs to maintain a steady and flexible supply of global LNG.

The Brunsbüttel facility, operational since 2023, is one of three terminals managed by DET in Germany. The upcoming phase will see the FSRU move to a newly constructed jetty, further solidifying the terminal's operational capabilities.

This contract follows MT Group's previous agreement in October 2024 with Gasfin to construct a 50MW heater facility at Brunsbüttel, which is now nearing completion.

MT Group CEO Mindaugas Zakaras said: “This contract marks an extraordinary moment for our company.

“Being selected to contribute to such a strategically important infrastructure project in Germany is not only a testament to our technical capabilities, but a recognition of the trust we have built across the European energy market. Together with Worley and Deutsche Energy Terminal, we are fully committed to delivering the highest standards of safety, quality and execution excellence. This project will be a reference of historic importance for MT Group.”
