LNG carrier arrived in Stade wth police escort

The ''Energos Force' moored in the Stade industrial port, en route from Rotterdam, on the morning of March 15, 2024. A large contingent of police accompanied the ship on the Elbe. There was a protest with two inflatable boats. The four inmates expressed their protest” against the LNG terminal. The police picked up those involved a little later in the port of Kollmar. The "Energos Force" did not yet have any gas on board. According to the operator Deutsche Energie Terminal-Gesellschaft (DET), a test phase for the floating LNG terminal was initially underway. The terminal is then expected to supply gas to five million households per year. The "Energos Force" is the third of four ships chartered by the federal government to handle LNG tankers in the North Sea area in Stade, Wilhelmshaven and Brunsbüttel. The arrival was regarded as an important milestone in the district for security of supply and stabilization of gas prices in Germany and Europe. The district is also strengthening its position as an industrial and chemical location. The construction of the pier in Stade is considered the largest water-side construction project in Germany's ports. In addition to the floating terminal, the construction of an LNG terminal is planned in Stade and scheduled to be completed in 2027.
