A controversial liquefied natural gas terminal on Germany’s Baltic Sea island of Rügen began trial operations Saturday, according to operating company Deutsche ReGas.
The regasification vessel Energos Power arrived at the industrial port of Mukran earlier in the day, after state authorities granted approval for early commencement of operations, the company said in a statement. The ship, the first of two regasification vessels planned for the terminal, is carrying LNG from Norway, ReGas said.
