It will feature two 165,000m3 storage tanks.
The terminal will have auxiliary operating systems, infrastructure, and buildings.
Situated at Brunsbüttel at the mouth of the Elbe on the North Sea, this terminal will offer strategic infrastructure for the customer German LNG Terminal.
It will allow the country to import liquefied natural gas by sea, to be unloaded there for storage and regasification prior to being injected into the grid or carried by lorries or wagons.

The installation is expected to be delivered in 2026, with the works anticipated to last 42 months.
Cobra and Sener have expertise in handling projects of this type, having completed the LNG terminals at Sagunto and Bahía de Bizkaia in Spain, Gate in the Netherlands, Dunkirk in France, and Zeebrugge in Belgium.
Earlier this week, Vinci, through its subsidiaries, secured three contracts in total, with two from Brazil and one from Uganda.
Of the two contracts won by Vinci’s subsidiary, Cobra, one is a public private partnership (PPP) contract and the other is a design and build contract.
