Fire on museum ship
Five people were injured in a fire on the historic buy layer 'Kapitän Meyer' (IMO: 8952091) in Wilhelmshaven on Dec 2, 2025. They were taken to a hospital with suspected smoke inhalation. The city-owned museum ship was being prepared for an upcoming shipyard stay at the Jade-Dienst and is intended to serve as a museum ship in the future. Sparks from welding work in the ship's engine room caused the fire. 34 Firefighters battled the blaze and cooled the ship until the early afternoon. The extent of the damage was not yet known.
Germany set to have at least 2 LNG terminals
German Economy Minister Peter Altmaier said on Tuesday he was optimistic that Germany would build two terminals in the foreseeable future to import liquefied natural gas (LNG). As Germany phases out nuclear power and coal, it is increasingly turning to gas to compliment renewable energy sources. It is under pressure, especially from the United States, to cut its dependence on Russian gas and buy in LNG. Altmaier told a meeting with German and U.S. energy officials and industry lobbyists that Germany was weighing up the extent of state subsidies and regulations before private investors build the terminals needed for LNG imports. Of three sites under consideration – Brunsbuettel, Stade and Wilhelmshaven – Altmaier was confident terminals would be built at two in the foreseeable future.
ExxonMobil Signs Preliminary Wilhelmshaven LNG Deal
FRANKFURT, Jan 25 (Reuters) – German utility Uniper on Friday said ExxonMobil had signed a preliminary deal to take a substantial share of the regasification capacity at a liquefied natural gas (LNG) floating terminal planned for Wilhelmshaven. “The heads of agreement (a non-binding draft) is an important step towards the realisation of the Wilhelmshaven floating storage and regasification (FSRU) project,” said Keith Martin, Uniper’s chief commercial officer. “The FSRU will provide LNG companies from the United States, but also other countries from around the world, with the opportunity to deliver LNG into the German and European markets,” he said. LNG is seen helping the German government diversify away from pipeline gas arriving from Russia, Norway and the Netherlands.
