This is an experimental tool. The results may be incomplete, outdated or even incorrect.
The mayor of Binz announced that he would use all legal remedies against the planned LNG terminal in Mukran after the Federal Administrative Court dismissed the lawsuits against the pipeline. The new lawsuit relates to safety risks of the regasification ships and is intended to prevent the regasification ships from being put into operation on May 15th. Environmental organizations and residents are planning further lawsuits and are calling for an immediate halt to operations. Critics warn of the serious security risks and doubt the necessity of the terminal, which could delay the energy transition.

Karsten Schneider announced it at the end of April. “We will use all legal means at our disposal to take action against this,” said the mayor of the Baltic Sea resort of Binz to NDR. The opponents of the liquid gas terminal on Rügen had just suffered a defeat: the Federal Administrative Court dismissed the lawsuits of several environmental associations against the pipeline from the port of Sassnitz-Mukran to Lubmin. This highest court decision means legal certainty, said Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania’s Economics Minister Reinhard Meyer (SPD).
