Operations at the Mukran LNG terminal off the Baltic coast of Germany resumed this week after icebreaking efforts restored access to open water. The multipurpose vessel Neuwerk, which initially suffered a technical fault, was supported by the tug VB Bremen Fighter to clear ice.

The LNG carrier Maran Gas Nice departed on February 11 after being unable to leave since late January, while Minerva Amorgos is expected to dock by February 16. Gas storage at Mukran has reached record lows, with the terminal ceasing gas feed to the national grid in early February. The facility has been critical for Germany's LNG imports amid the loss of Russian gas, handling 12.9 TWh over the past three months.
