Mannesmann Grossrohr (MGR), a unit of German steel producer Salzgitter, will supply the pipes for the link to the Brunsbüttel LNG terminal.

Gasunie looks to deploy FSRU at Lubmin port in Germany Deutschland commissioned MGR to produce and deliver the pipes for the energy transport pipeline 180 (ETL 180).

Featuring a diameter of DN 800, the pipeline covers a distance of around 54 kilometres. Some 3,200 pipes are to be delivered by February 2023. In addition, they will be able to handle hydrogen in the future.

As MGR is already producing the pipes for the connecting pipeline to the Wilhelmshaven LNG terminal, it has now also been assigned with supplying the pipes for the link to the Brunsbüttel LNG terminal.
