Geocean completes offshore work on Wilhelmshaven LNG terminal in Germany
Geocean, which is part of VINCI Construction Grands Projets, has successfully completed the installation of three TCP pipelines and a power cable to connect Excelerate Energy’s floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) to terrestrial facilities.
The offshore FSRU terminal project installed in Wilhelmshaven, Germany is a joint venture between ENGIE and TES (Tree Energy Solution). Geocean has been chosen to carry out this fast-track installation project, enhancing the country’s infrastructure and energy security. The company worked on the connection to the FSRU, the anchoring system, and the subsea equipment. This infrastructure was installed 1.7 km from the shore at a depth of 14 metres. Geocean deployed its FAST-FLEX barge solution, one of its four types of modular barges. These modular barge solutions are tailored to the specific needs of each project and designed to streamline installation operations and cut the cost of offshore installation projects. This project represents a major development in the company’s offshore installation capabilities.
