A non-profit environmental and consumer protection association, Environmental Action Germany (DUH) has filed a lawsuit against the planned construction of an import terminal for liquefied natural gas (LNG) off the Baltic Sea island of Rügen.

The legal action specifically refers to the permission of a connecting line that would run from the mainland coastal town of Lubmin to Rügen, which would be around 38 kilometers long.

The organization noted in a statement on Tuesday, that the pipeline’s construction would pose “a major threat” to the island’s tourism industry as well as to the Baltic Sea and the nearby protected areas.

Also, the project was described as endangering seabirds, the blueprints were deemed “oversized,” and the approval procedure was deemed “inadequate.”

Two platforms are to be built in the Baltic Sea off Sellin in the south-east of Rügen, on which floating liquefied natural gas terminals are to be moored.

Energy giant RWE is to implement the project off Rügen on behalf of Germany’s federal government.

It is part of Berlin’s efforts to wean the country off Russian energy imports and diversify energy sources.
