Swiss player marks LNG milestones with delivery in Germany and supply role in Egypt

As for the achievement in Germany, the company offloaded its inaugural physical LNG cargo at Germany’s Mukran LNG terminal using its chartered vessel Celsius Gandhinagar.

The 2024-built LNG carrier has a capacity of 180,000 cubic meters (cbm) and was constructed at the Samsung Heavy Industry yard.

BGN says the milestone, known in the industry as “touching the ice” since it occurs at -160°C, marks its official entry into the physical LNG market and signals a new era in the company’s global energy portfolio. 

Deutsche ReGas, which operates Mukran LNG, recently reported a record quarterly performance for the terminal. This was also said to be the highest-performing LNG terminal in Germany for the period.
