*German LNG Terminal completes EPC contractor pre-qualification process* 
 
*Brunsbuettel, 30th September 2019.* 
 
*German LNG Terminal GmbH, the joint venture behind the LNG terminal project 
in Brunsbuettel, Northern Germany, has completed the EPC (Engineering, 
Procurement and Construction) Contractor pre-qualification process that 
started at the end of June this year. Following a careful selection process 
four internationally operating EPC contractors have been shortlisted to 
continue the competitive tender process.* 
 
Essential qualifications that have been assessed are: safety track record, 
experience in design and construction of similar projects, awareness of 
German codes and practices and financial strength. The shortlisted companies 
are (in alphabetic order): 
 
· Cobra Instalaciones y Servicios S.A. - Sener Ingeniería y Sistemas S.A. 
 
· Hyundai Engineering Co., Ltd. - Korea Gas Corporation 
 
· Sacyr Fluor S.A. - Entrepose Contracting S.A.S. / VINCI Construction 
Grands Projets S.A.S. - Sacyr Somague S.A. 
 
· Tecnicas Reunidas S.A. - Heitkamp HIKB GmbH 
 
The EPC tender closing is on 5th December 2019, with subsequent EPC contract 
award planned before the end of April 2020. 
 
The EPC scope contains a jetty with two berths for LNG carriers ranging from 
1,000 up to 265,000 cbm, both with LNG unloading and loading capabilities, 
LNG storage tanks, LNG vaporization and distribution facilities for a total 
capacity up to 8 bcm per annum. 
 
The launch of the EPC tender is a significant step in the continued 
development of the German LNG Terminal project. Following the conclusion of 
the scoping phase at the end of July, also the permit approval process is 
steadily moving forward. Serious commercial interest in the LNG terminal 
project is shown by Heads of Agreements (HOA), signed by major European and 
non-European LNG players.
