The Neptune was towed to the Nordperd roadstead on 4 May 2024. She was scheduled to lie at anchor there for a few days to be weighed down and prepared for further travel under her own engine. It is then transferred to a European shipyard, where the necessary conversion work is carried out for use in the ‘German Baltic Sea’ energy terminal.

Ingo Wagner, Managing Partner of Deutsche ReGas, said: “With the safe towing of the FSRU, Deutsche ReGas is once again underlining its maritime competence and reliability. From 9 January 2023, Deutsche Regas in Lubmin and the Neptune reliably contributed to the secure gas supply to Germany, especially East Germany, for almost 1.5 years. We will continue this in a few weeks at the industrial port in Mukran.”
