Venture Global’s 174,000-cbm newbuild carrier, Venture Gator, was on Monday anchored in the North Sea, offshore Wilhelmshaven and Brunsbüttel, where DET’s FSRU-based facilities are located, its AIS data provided by VesselsValue shows.
The data shows that the vessel is expected to deliver the shipment to Brunsbüttel, the home of the 170,000-cbm FSRU Hoegh Gannet.
Earlier this month, Venture Gator left the Plaquemines plant after loading the second commissioning cargo.
Venture Global sent the first commissioning cargo from its Plaquemines plant on December 27, 2024, and this shipment was recently delivered to DET’s FSRU-based terminal in Wilhelmshaven.
Germany’s EnBW bought this LNG cargo from Venture Global.
Venture Global said this shipment marked over 60 LNG cargoes sent from the company into Germany since 2022.
Besides these two shipments, Venture Global recently sent the third commissioning cargo from its Plaquemines plant to Europe.
The 2021-built 174,000-cbm, Isabella, was on Monday sailing in the North Atlantic Ocean, and is expected to arrive at its destination in Europe around January 27, its AIS data shows.
In addition, Venture Global loaded and shipped the fourth commissioning cargo.
The 2018-built 174,000-cbm, Flex Rainbow, left the facility in Port Sulphur during the weekend, its AIS data shows.
Flex Rainbow’s final destination is currently not available, but it also appears to be heading to Europe.
Plaquemines LNG is the eighth US LNG export facility.
Venture Global said in its recent IPO statement it is targeting a COD (commercial operations date) for the Plaquemines project in the third quarter of 2026 for Phase 1 and the second quarter of 2027 for Phase 2.
The full project, including the second stage, will have a capacity of 20 mtpa coming from 36 modular units, configured in 18 blocks.
