Here is Germany’s first terminal ship

But the Esperanza is still in Brest. And she is not the only LNG tanker here that is suitable as a terminal ship, as the satellite image shows. The Höegh Gannet, which arrived in the French city at the end of October, is waiting in dry dock number two, a few hundred meters to the north-west. An RWE spokeswoman confirms that this tanker, which is also chartered by the federal government, is to be used as a floating LNG terminal in Brunsbüttel near Hamburg and is currently being made fit for this purpose.
