Construction of the sea jetty is scheduled to begin in the summer of 2025, with completion expected by late 2026 or early 2027. The jetty will be designed to accommodate ships with a capacity of up to 267,000 cubic meters. It will also include a smaller berth for LNG bunker vessels and barges, with an unloading capacity of 14,000 cubic meters per hour and a loading capacity of 3,000 cubic meters per hour.
Richard Majoor, Director at Ballast Nedam Infra, emphasized the collaborative approach: “Collaboration is in Ballast Nedam’s DNA. In combination with Hakkers and CS Gas North, we want to build a proactive and efficient collaboration. Ballast Nedam and Hakkers complement each other well: Ballast Nedam has extensive experience in project management for complex construction projects, while Hakkers, as a specialist in hydraulic engineering and steel construction, adds substantive value.”
Hein van Laar, Commercial Director at Hakkers, highlighted their expertise: “As a specialist in heavy hydraulic engineering piling and steel construction, we are particularly proud to realize this project. We see that we can really add something in Germany with our expertise.” This partnership leverages the strengths of both companies to deliver a high-quality infrastructure project.
The Brunsbüttel LNG terminal project supports the region’s energy infrastructure by facilitating the import and distribution of LNG. The jetty will play a critical role in enabling efficient maritime operations for large-scale LNG carriers and smaller vessels, meeting the terminal’s operational needs.
In a related development, Worley was recently appointed to oversee construction, installation, and commissioning services for Phase 2 of the Brunsbüttel LNG terminal. This phase includes the installation of a permanent jetty and related gas import facilities, further advancing the terminal’s capacity to serve energy markets.
The collaboration between Ballast Nedam Infra, Hakkers, and CS Gas North reflects a commitment to delivering advanced infrastructure for the energy sector. By combining expertise in project management, hydraulic engineering, and steel construction, the project aims to meet high standards of safety and efficiency, contributing to the development of sustainable energy solutions in Germany.
This initiative aligns with growing demand for LNG infrastructure, positioning Brunsbüttel as a key hub for energy imports. The jetty’s completion will enhance the terminal’s ability to handle significant volumes of LNG, supporting energy supply chains in the region.
